飓风哈德哈德肆虐,印度三人死亡

A cyclone that India's Meteorological Department described as "very severe" has made landfall in the country's east, killing at least three people.

Cyclone Hudhud had winds of up to 195 kilometers per hour Sunday as its center came ashore at the port city of Visakhapatnam.

It knocked down power lines and hundreds of trees, and forced public transportation to be suspended.

Rescue workers were on call ahead of the storm's arrival and 370,000 people were evacuated from the densely populated areas it hit.

Visakhapatnam is the largest city in Andhra Pradesh and hosts a major Indian naval base.
