Hyderabad: There are many devastating natural calamities in the world which bring large scale destruction to human habitations, and one of them is tropical cyclones. They originate over oceans in tropical areas and move towards the coastal areas bringing large scale destruction caused by violent winds, very heavy rainfall and storm surges.
India has been hit by a number of cyclones since ages; tropical cyclones originate over the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

The most affected states are Odisha, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Destruction caused by cyclones
