Essay on fani,it's consequences and effects
Answers
Explanation:
Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani (/ˈfɒniː/; Bengali: ফণী, romanized: Phaṇī[a]) was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike the Indian state of Odisha since the 1999 Odisha cyclone. The second named storm and the first severe cyclonic storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Fani originated from a tropical depression that formed west of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean on 26 April. Vertical wind shear at first hindered the storm's development, but conditions became more favorable on 30 April. Fani rapidly intensified into an extremely severe cyclonic storm and reached its peak intensity on 2 May as a high-end extremely severe cyclonic storm—the equivalent of a high-end Category 4 major hurricane. Fani weakened before making landfall, and its convective structure rapidly degraded thereafter, degenerating into a remnant low on 4 May, and dissipating on the next day.

Prior to Fani's landfall, authorities in India and Bangladesh moved at least a million people each from areas within Fani's projected path onto higher ground, and into cyclone shelters, which is thought to have reduced the resultant death toll.[3] Fani killed at least 89 people in eastern India and Bangladesh. Fani caused about US$8.1 billion in damages in both India and Bangladesh, mostly in Odisha, in India.[4]
