India has evacuated over 200,000 people from the western coastline as a massive cyclone roars through the Bay of Bengal.

Cyclone Phailin is predicted to make landfall Saturday morning in Orissa state.

The storm has been classified as category 5 by the London-based Tropical Storm Risk center and the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center has predicted winds from the superstorm could reach 195 mph when it hits land.  Storm surges will be at least 10 feet and likely much higher.

“The storm has high damage potential considering windspeed,” the director of the India Meteorological Department told the BBC.  More concerning to the meteorologists watching the storm is the wide area the storm is covering in the ocean.

A super-cyclone similar to Phailin killed 10,000 people in Orissa state in 1999.
