A powerful cyclone, the second in two weeks, slammed into India's eastern coast today as authorities packed villagers into trucks in an effort to evacuate 20,000 people.
The cyclone bearing winds up to 155 mph hit along 300 miles of coastline in the states of Orissa and West Bengal at midday today.
Even when the full-blown storm was still several miles offshore, powerful winds flattened simple mud huts, uprooted trees and cut off communications to the worst-hit areas.
