Cyclone Hudhud

[Nova2]

now its time to put people in line of fire. More than enough images are visible to identify them. They should pay for it. They don't care for life, not theirs not others.


No I am damn serious. we should think about it. athorities will go to any extent to save them even if they are doing wrong. after the cyclone passes they should pay for it.

A legal action could be taken against those who were caught on cam playing like toddlers in the storm,but thats highly unlikely to happen,tough they can draw a rule as such. It would be helpfull to control such chimps next time.

Not really,at ''landfall'' odisha cyclone had weaked a bit ,with wind intensity around 260km/hr ,while approaching toward odisha its wind intensity was 300km/hr. Both phailin & odisha cyclone had similar impact at landfall,but odisha cyclone was baap in causing casualities,for reasons well know.sad.

It is still high. We need to educate people not to venture outside in any condition even not for fun. Loss of life is just not acceptable at any cost. Thank you.

How are you guys doing??
After reading the posts here I was intrigued by hudhud's name and thats exactly when I read this piece of news....may be you guys already know how and why was hudhud named...but i'm guessing there must be a few like me on the forum who didnt know about it..



Cyclone Hudhud was named by Oman

Muscat: At least 100,000 people have been evacuated on India's eastern seaboard on Saturday as cyclone Hudhud, bore down, threatening to devastate farmland and fishing villages when it hits the coast this (Sunday) morning.

And did you know, who named this "very severe cyclonic storm" that could pack gusts of up to 165 kilometres per hour (over 100 miles per hour) and dump more than 24.5 centimetres (10 inches) of rain in some places when it makes landfall? It was Oman.

Hudhud derives its name from the Hoopoe bird, a colourful bird found across Afro-Eurasia.
Hurricanes and tropical cyclones in the Atlantic have had their own names since 1953, but naming came to South Asia and the Middle East recently.

It was just too controversial to do the same around the North Indian Ocean. For years, cyclones that originated in the northern Indian Ocean were anonymous affairs.

However, in 2004, they clubbed together and agreed on their favourite names when an international panel on tropical cyclones led by the WMO decided to name their cyclones as a committee in the spirit of cooperation and consensus.

Eight countries - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Maldives along with Myanmar, Oman, Sri Lanka and Thailand - took part and came up with a list of 64 names - eight names from each country - for upcoming cyclones.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) which issues cyclone advisories to eight countries has a list of names contributed by each of them.

Every time a cyclone occurs, a name is picked in the order they have been submitted. Each country gets a chance to name a cyclone.

After all the countries get their turn, the next list of names is followed.

According to IMD, tropical cyclones are named to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts and warnings.

Since the storms can often last a week or even longer and more than one cyclone can occur in the same region at the same time, names can reduce the confusion about what storm is being described, said IMD.

"The names of cyclones in Indian Seas are not allocated in alphabetical order but are arranged by the name of the country which contributed the name. It is usual practice for a storm to be named when it reaches tropical storm strength (winds of 34 knots)," said IMD.

In the recent past, the cyclones were named Helen (Bangladesh), Lehar (India), Madi (Maldives), and Na-nauk (Myanmar).
The current cyclone is named Hudhud (Oman) and ones that will follow will be called Nilofar (Pakistan), Priya (Sri Lanka) and Komen (Thailand).

@SledgeHammer @scorpionx @nair

or was I the only one who didnt know about it??

Chalo thank god I've some company

but why would hudhud sound funny??
I thought it was the noise that wind makes when it makes a landfall.
btw this is the bird hud hud

and some more info................


Last year, Phailin, the name for a massive cyclone which battered India's south-eastern coast and led to the evacuation of more than 500,000 people, was provided by Thailand. Some of the Indian names in the queue are the more prosaic Megh (Cloud), Sagar (Ocean) and Vayu (Wind).
Next time a cyclone hits the region, it's Pakistan's turn to give it a name.
The names will not dry up anytime soon. Dr Mahapatra says Hudhud is possibly the 34th name of the list, which means there are 30 more in the queue. The panel of cyclone experts meets every year, and they will be replenishing the list whenever the need arises.
It's not that the list of 64 names has been without controversy
Cyclone Mahasen, which hit in 2013 and was named by Sri Lanka, was changed to Viyaru after protests by nationalists and officials in Sri Lanka. They said Mahasen was a king who had brought peace and prosperity to the island, and it was wrong to name a calamity after him.
