Cyclone Fani: Mass evacuations as storm moves up India's coast

Thousands of people are being evacuated from villages along India's eastern coastline ahead of a severe cyclone.
Cyclone Fani is heading towards the state of Orissa with wind speeds in excess of 200 km/h (127 mph), and is expected to make landfall on Friday.
Officials have shut down operations at two major ports on the east coast, and thousands of officials are helping to evacuate people in low-lying areas.
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu states are also on high alert.
Officials told BBC Hindi that around 800,000 people are in the process of being evacuated. Nearly 100,000 of them will be evacuated from the city of Puri where Fani is predicted to make landfall on Friday morning.
