On the morning of October 29, 1999, a cyclone struck the coast of Orissa, in
northeastern India on the Bay of Bengal. Winds of between 155 and 161 miles an hour, heavy
rains and waves between 13 and 20 feet high accompanied the storm. Orissa is home to 32
million people. This storm struck just 10 days after another cyclone hit Orissa on the
evening of October 17. The first storm ripped across the Gopalpur coast, devastating the
district of Ganjam, which was in the eye of the storm.
