People are seen vacating their homes on Tuesday (May 19) in fear of incoming super cyclone Amphan.

This footage was recorded in Digha, a coastal town in the east Indian state of West Bengal.

The severe storm is expected to make landfall on Wednesday and hit West Bengal.

India's Meteorological Department has issued a "yellow alert" for the region.

This would be the first super cyclonic in the Bay of Bengal since 1999.
