00:01And after Cyclone Arnab, India's east coast is now gracing for a second cyclone in less than a week.
00:08Now, Cyclone Murasu forms over Bay of Bengal, southern Odisha on high alert after Cyclone Arnab,
00:15which struck Andhra coast on October 28th.
00:18Now, Andhra Pradesh is also likely to face the brunt of this cyclone once again.
00:25The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal on Sunday intensified into cyclonic storm Murasu,
00:31prompting the Odisha government to step up preparedness in the southern region of the state.
00:35In fact, the IMD has said that Cyclone Murasu has formed over the Bay of Bengal
00:40and is likely to make landfall on the Andhra Pradesh coast on November 3rd.
00:46And my colleague Apoorva continues to stay with us.
00:49Apoorva was on the ground during Cyclone Arnab.
00:53Apoorva, within just days, we are going to see another Cyclone Murasu.
00:58And we're learning that Andhra Pradesh is once again going to face the brunt of this cyclone as well.
01:05That's right. In fact, this time it's towards the southern part of Andhra Pradesh,
01:09where the Cyclone Murasu will be hitting between Nellore and Bapatla as well.
01:13This time, what we are learning, IMD has predicted that this landfall will likely take place late tomorrow evening
01:22or well towards early morning, day after tomorrow.
01:25And that's where this landfall is also scheduled to take place.
01:27Right from tomorrow, they've also predicted that between the coast of Nellore well into Bapatla
01:33and also towards Shrikakulam as well, this is where the effect will also take place.
01:39Unfortunately, we have seen just a couple of days back the impact of the super-severe cyclone,
01:45Cyclone Arnab, which has just devastated the coastal area and coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh.
01:50And yet again, hardly two days later, we are seeing yet another cyclone that is impending towards Andhra Pradesh.
01:56And the state making sure that it is amped up in its preparedness racing for the impact of Cyclone Murasu.
02:04All right, Apoorba, thank you for those details.
02:06So the landfall is expected to be late tomorrow or maybe in the early hours of Tuesday.
02:14And Andhra Pradesh is once again going to be at the brunt of Cyclone Murasu as well
02:18within just days of Cyclone Arnab, which we saw just days ago.
