Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Phailin is a tropical cyclone which formed in October 2013 that is currently affecting Thailand, Myanmar and the Indian states of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

The system was first noted as a tropical depression on October 4, 2013 within the Gulf of Thailand, to the west of Pnom Penh in Cambodia. Over the next few days, the system moved westwards within an area of low to moderate vertical wind shear, before as it passed over the Malay Peninsula, it moved out of the Western Pacific Basin on October 6. The system emerged into the Andaman Sea during the next day and moved west-northwest into an improving environment for further development.

The system was subsequently named Phailin (Thai: ไพลิน meaning sapphire).[1] On October 9, after it had developed into a cyclonic storm and passed over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands into the Bay of Bengal, it rapidly intensified developing an eye, and became very severe cyclonic storm on October 10, equivalent to a category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS). On October 11, Phailin became equivalent to a category 5 hurricane on the SSHWS before it started to weaken during the next day as it approached the Indian state of Odisha. The system subsequently made landfall later that day, near Gopalpur in Odisha coast at around 2130 IST (1600 UTC).

Officials from Odisha's state government said that around 12 million people may be affected. As part of the preparations 600 buildings were identified as cyclone shelters and people were evacuated from areas near the coast, including Ganjam, Puri, Khordha and Jagatsinghapur districts in Odisha.[clarification needed][2] The cyclone has prompted India's biggest evacuation in 23 years with more than 550,000 people moved up from the coastline in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh to safer places.[3]

On October 4, the Japan Meteorological Agency began monitoring a tropical depression that developed in the Gulf of Thailand, about 400 km (250 mi)* west of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.[4][5] Over the next couple of days the system moved westward within an area of low to moderate vertical wind shear. As it passed over the Malay Peninsula, it moved out of the Western Pacific Basin on October 6.[6][7][8] The system then subsequently emerged into the Andaman Sea during the next day, before the India Meteorological Department (IMD) started to monitor the system as Depression BOB 04 early on October 8.[9][10] During that day the system moved towards the west-northwest into an environment for more development. The IMD reported that the system had become a deep depression early on October 9 as it intensified and consolidated further.[11][12] The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) subsequently initiated advisories on the depression and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 02B, before the system slightly weakened, as it passed near to Mayabunder in the Andaman Islands and moved into the Bay of Bengal.[13][14][15] After moving into the Bay of Bengal, the system quickly reorganized as it moved along the southern edge of a subtropical ridge of high pressure. The IMD reported that the system had intensified into a cyclonic storm and named it Phailin.[15][16]

Animation of Phailin over the coast of Odisha

After it was named, Phailin rapidly intensified further, and became equivalent to a category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS) early on October 10. After bands of atmospheric convection had wrapped into the systems low level circulation center and formed an eye feature.[17][18] Later that day the IMD reported that the system had become a very severe cyclonic storm, before the JTWC reported that Phailin had become equivalent to a category 4 hurricane on the SSHWS, after it had rapidly intensified throughout that day.[19][20] Early the next day the system underwent an eye-wall replacement cycle and formed a new eye-wall which subsequently consolidated.[21] After the new eye-wall had consolidated the system slightly intensified further, with the JTWC reporting that the system had reached its peak intensity, with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 260 km/h (160 mph)* which made it equivalent to a category 5 hurricane on the SSHWS.[22][23] Early on October 12, the system started to weaken as it underwent a second eye-wall replacement cycle, before Phailin's eye started rapidly to deteriorate as it moved towards the Indian coast.[24][25] The system subsequently made landfall later that day near Gopalpur in Odisha, between 20:30 – 21:30 IST (15:00 – 16:00 UTC) as a very severe cyclonic storm.[26] After the system made landfall, the JTWC issued their final advisory on Phalin, before during the next day the IMD reported that the system had weakened into a cyclonic storm.[27][28]

Preparations and impact

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

On October 8, the IMD warned the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that squally to gale force wind speeds would be recorded over the islands and surrounding sea areas during the next two days.[10] They also warned that heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur over the islands while some damage to thatched huts, power and communication lines was expected.[10] These warnings were continued until October 11, when the IMD noted that no further adverse weather, would occur over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.[29] Within the islands the Directorate of Health Services opened a Medical Camp in Rangat, while the Deputy Commissioner, Police and Fire Services all ensured there were no casualties.[30] Between October 8–10, rainfall totals of 734 mm (28.9 in) and 434 mm (17.1 in) were recorded in Mayabunder and on the Long Island.[30][31][32][33]

Andhra Pradesh

The Andhra Pradesh government and the Chief Minister met representatives of the Army and Navy seeking their assistance if required.[34] Utility workers striking against the division of Andhra Pradesh called off their strike partly in view of the cyclone threat to the coastal districts.[35]The state government ordered the evacuation of 64,000 people living in low-lying areas. As of 1800 IST (13th October 2013), 1 person was reported dead from the state.[36]

The coastal districts of the state escaped the force of the cyclone. However, Srikakulam district experienced heavy rains and gale-force winds which uprooted tall trees and electric poles, shutting down power to areas.[37]

Odisha

In Odisha, the government issued a high alert to the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Ganjam and Gajapati, and cancelled the Dusshera holidays of employees of all 30 districts of the state, asking them to ensure the safety of people. Food and relief materials were stocked-up at storm shelters across the state.[38] Distant storm warning signal was raised to two at the ports of Paradip and Gopalpur of the state.[39] The Chief Minister of Odisha wrote to the Union Defence Minister seeking support from defence personnel, particularly the Air Force and Navy, for rescue and relief operations.[40] Odisha government has made arrangements for over 100,000 food packets for relief.[41] Indian Air Force helicopters were kept on standby in West Bengal to move in for help at short notice.

Heavy rainfall resulted to the death of a man in Bhubaneswar after a tall tree fell on him. Gusty winds resulted in downing of trees and powerlines.[42]It was also reported that due to high winds, seven other people were killed in Odisha due to the effect.[43]

As the storm moved inland, wind speeds picked up from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 200 km/h (120 mph) within 30 minutes. Brahmapur, the closest city to the point of landfall suffered devastation triggered by gale winds, with fallen trees, uprooted electric poles and broken walls in various places of the city. However, there were no reports of damage to property or life according to the city police.[37] As of 13th October, 12 people have been reported dead from Odisha.[citation needed]

Jharkhand

Heavy rains on Sunday lashed Jharkhand following the "peripheral effect" of the cyclone, centering in neighboring Odisha, and more rains have been forecast in the state till Monday. "The peripheral effect following Phailin that lay centred in Odisha began in Jharkhand since early morning with heavy rains lashing several districts of the state," a met spokesman said in Ranchi on Sunday. He said 74.6 mm rain was recorded in Ranchi till 8.30 am while Jamshedpur (52.4 mm), Bokaro (58.4 mm) along with other districts also experienced heavy rainfall and surface winds.Jamshedpur managed 99 mms by 8.30 pm IST.

"The severe cyclonic storm is expected to turn into deep depression by this evening," the spokesman added. Barring an early morning lightning strike at Simdradhao village in Giridih district in which a person was killed, according to police, there were no reports of rain-related casualty anywhere in the state. The Disaster Management Department and the district administrations were monitoring the situation.[44]

Other Indian states

The areas of West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Bihar are likely to experience heavy rainfall and strong winds. There is risk of trees falling and disruption of light or electricity poles. However, the effect here will not be as severe as that in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.

A Merchant Ship MV Bingo was feared to have sunk in rough seas off the coast of West Bengal due to Cyclone Phailin. The Crew of 20 were spotted in lifeboats by the Coast Guard and attempts are being made to rescue them. [45]
