             A history of cyclones in India  

India has a long and tragic history with cyclones. The Indian subcontinent is among the worst affected regions of the world when it comes to tropical storms. It’s particularly vulnerable due to its 4,670-mile coastline, where a large percentage of the country’s population lives.
