NEW DELHI: The severe cyclonic storm 'Hudhud' turned "very severe" on Friday, said India's national weather forecaster while pin-pointing districts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha which need to be extra careful till Sunday.

Suggesting complete evacuation from coastal areas of north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha, it said sea condition will be "rough" to "very rough" from Saturday morning and would reach dangerous level on Sunday morning.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said the storm surge of about 1-2 metres above astronomical tide would inundate low lying areas of Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram and Srikakulam districts of north coastal Andhra Pradesh at the time of landfall.

Though the wind speed (120-130 kmph gusting to 145 kmph) predicted by the weather department a day before remained more or less the same throughout the day on Friday, the weather forecaster in its latest bulletin broadened the extent of its warning and preferred to go into details of "damage" expected on Saturday-Sunday.

It predicted extensive damage to 'kutcha' houses, uprooting of big trees, partial disruption of power and communication lines and damage to agricultural crops for East Godavari, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts in north Andhra Pradesh.
