About a million people were evacuated from parts of India’s eastern coast on Thursday as Tropical Cyclone Dana approached, with airports, schools and train services shut down as the storm brought flooding and landslide risks to some of the country’s poorest communities.

       Dana was churning northwest across the Bay of Bengal toward the state of Odisha with the force of a Category 1 hurricane, with winds of about 75 miles per hour, the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center said early Thursday. It was forecast to make landfall along Odisha’s coast overnight.
