Super Cyclone 'Yaas' made landfall in Odisha's Balasore. 

"The wind speed of the storm was around 130 km/hr to 140 km/hr at the time of landfall and it is likely to increase slightly when the tail crosses the land," Regional Director (Eastern Region) of Indian Meteorological centre Sanjib Bandopadhyay told reporters.

The landfall has created widespread damage in different areas of East Midnapore and the coastal areas of South 24 Parganas. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee who has been in the control room all through the night and has been monitoring the storm personally said, "We have evacuated more than 15 lakh people and the process of evacuation is still on".
