Relief crews are working across eastern India after a powerful
cyclone brought heavy rain and wind to the region and left at least
eight people dead.
The remnants of Cyclone Hudhud continued dropping rain on inland areas Monday, a day after making landfall at the port city of Visakhapatnam with winds up to 195 kilometers per hour.
The storm knocked down trees and power lines and ripped the roofs off homes in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa states where authorities evacuated nearly 400,000 people ahead of the storm.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to visit the area Tuesday.
