A day after the deadly Cyclone Hudhud ravaged parts of India's eastern coast and killed 24 people, residents are furiously scrambling to find supplies to stay alive, according to the Associated Press.
Damaged stores in the busy port city of Visakhapatnam have remained open to sell gas, milk and other groceries at prices far higher than normal, according to the Times of India. Basic necessities are being sold at twice or thrice the normal price as local store owners attempt to cash in on desperate citizens in a country where as many as 50,000 mud hut residences were destroyed by the storm, the Associated Press reports.
