Phailin - Recovery Update

The cyclone threat is over now - and rescue and rehabilitation has already begun in earnest, less than 20 hours after it hit with full force. Almost a million people have started returning home. Rail link between Howrah and Puri is already restored, flights should begin by evening, and authorities hope that power to large areas will be up by tonight.
