As Cyclone Yaas passed through coastal areas of West Bengal and Odisha, several areas have now been inundated, with villages and towns in the coastal districts have faced damages. Hours before the landfall process of very severe cyclonic storm Yaas began in Odisha, strong winds and heavy tides saw seawater ingress in many coastal towns of West Bengal. In Bengal, the most affected so far is the East Midnapore district where seawater has flooded several residential areas along New Digha sea beach.

The storm, which has now weakened into a ‘severe cyclonic storm’ category, made landfall in Odisha on Wednesday morning and crossed the northern Odisha coast about 20 km south of Balasore between 10:30-11:30 am with an estimated wind speed of 130-140 kmph, gusting to 150 kmph.
