India's eastern coast suffered a beating as Cyclone Titli made landfall today.

Winds of up to 150 kph (93 mph) struck the states of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, leaving eight dead.

Footage filmed on Thursday in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, shows trees being uprooted and heavy winds scattering debris.

Near the coast, tides were measured of up to 10ft (3m) and storm surges were reported.

Between 400,000 and 500,000 are now without electricity.
