1999 Odisha cyclone
The 1999 Odisha cyclone (IMD designation BOB 06, JTWC designation 05B) was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the North Indian Ocean and among the most destructive in the region. The cyclone organized into a tropical depression in the Andaman Sea on 25 October, though its origins could be traced back to an area of convection in the Sulu Sea four days prior.
