This if all conditions are right may be a big cyclone for that part of the world where many poor people live and hopefully this wont go anywhere in that region and dissipates in the water.In the past years many cyclones in that area haved been catastrofic with thousands of lives lost.

A significant cyclone in that region could cause a lot of problems.

And this could be a very significant cyclone in that part of the world where many poor people live in bad conditions.

Right now the cyclone is intensifying and it will be a major cyclone if all the conditions are right but hopefully it weakens before it makes landfall.

Well at least some good news about this cyclone and that is shear is not letting it grow to more intensitie as it was forecasted to be a major cyclone in that part of the world.Now the forecast calls for slow intensification but not as previous forecasted so at least it will not be as strong when it makes landfall at India.
