STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- The latest in a string of powerful storms to hit Japan -- Vongfong -- weakened from typhoon to tropical storm as it made landfall in Okinawa prefecture early Sunday local time.

At least 33 injuries related to the storm were reported across Okinawa, Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, officials said.

At least 60,000 across Japan were without power.

Japan's four main islands were expected to receive between 50 to 60 centimeters (19 to 24 inches) of rain.

Despite its weakening, authorities took steps such as stopping bullet train services because of flying debris and issued landslide warnings.

The storm comes on the heels of Typhoon Phanfone, which swept over southern Japan last week, washing three U.S. airmen out to sea on Okinawa.

U.S. and Japanese search crews found the last airman's body on Wednesday, according to a news release issued by authorities at Kadena.

HYDERABAD: Reclassified as a "very severe cyclonic storm" by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Hudhud continued to gather force ahead of reaching Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh by Sunday. The cyclone will persist for nearly six hours post-landfall in the morning and peak by noon. It is expected to subsequently weaken over the next six hours while moving north-westwards across south Odisha and Chhattisgarh.

Andhra officials said they will temporarily relocate 5 lakh people, who will be accommodated across 370 relief camps by Sunday morning. Srikakulam and East Godavari, expected to bear the brunt of the cyclone's fury, account for the maximum number of evacuations. By Saturday afternoon, officials claim over 1.1 lakh people had already been evacuated.

Though not a "super cyclone", the Met on Saturday night upgraded the possible wind speed of the cyclonic storm from 155kmph to 195kmph. Met officials warned that strong winds and heavy rainfall were likely to disrupt electricity and telecommunications services as well as road and rail traffic along the coast.

As the severity of the storm is expected to intensify, the weather department says all nine coastal districts may be affected. Allaying concerns, Union earth science minister Jitendra Singh said Hudhud is "very severe" in scientific terms, but certainly not a "super cyclone". He appealed to people "not to get unduly alarmist" because the concerned departments are already geared up for any eventuality.

Modi briefed

In an emergency high-level meeting to review preparedness on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefed on evacuation and other precautionary and preparatory measures being undertaken for coping with the cyclone. The PM asked home minister Rajnath Singh to remain in touch with the chief ministers of the states likely to be affected by it.

The official statement said, "He (Modi) instructed senior officers of the union government to maintain close contact and coordination with officers of the affected states to ensure that relief and rescue operations proceed smoothly. He said suitable arrangements should be made to inform people about the cyclone on a real-time basis."

With Bonda Ghati being expected to be the worst sufferers for the cyclonic storm Hudhud, as a precautionary measure, the Malkangiri district administration evacuated primitive Bonda tribe to Mudulipada school. (PTI photo)

The measures include deployment of teams from the armed forces and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), depletion of reservoirs to accommodate cyclonic rainwater, positioning of boats, swimmers and relief camps and standby systems to restore power and telecom services, the statement said.
