As the cyclone advances, the forecast anticipates a landfall between Nellore and Machilipatnam in the coming noon. The looming threat raises alarm for residents and authorities in these regions, urging preparedness for the potential impact. The situation remains dynamic, with ongoing efforts to monitor and manage the consequences of Cyclone Michaung as it approaches the vulnerable coastal areas.
