"The intensity of the storm is likely to continue for six hours that is until Sunday morning. The eye of the cyclone is approximately 15 kilometres, which means it will take around one hour to cross the coast," according to Rathore.
The cyclone made its landfall at a windspeed of 200 km per hour. The intensity will not reduce as of now but could go up to 210 to 220 km per hour as earlier predicted, he added.
