Authorities successfully evacuated at least 1.1 million people in Odisha and West Bengal as Cyclone Dana made landfall with winds up to 110 km/h, warning of severe weather.
Odisha's Chief Minister declared, 'Our zero-casualty mission has been successful with cooperation of everyone,' after no deaths were reported despite significant destruction from Cyclone Dana.
District official Siddarth Swain described the impact of Cyclone Dana in Puri, stating that many trees and electric poles were uprooted, while makeshift beach shops were blown away.
Scientists caution that climate change is intensifying storms like Dana, as warmer ocean temperatures lead to increased moisture in the air, fueling more powerful weather events.
