Talk:1996 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

I survived North Indian Cyclone 1996 7B ...
... which, according to the article record caused "widespread flooding and over 1,000 casualties". Having been in the very center of it, and having seen the destruction, I'd say that is underestimated.

I'm from Europe, not from India. I've experienced some strong storms back home, but none, not even Kyrill, was anywhere near as wild as 7B. I was in India as a commissioning engineer for the GVK Jegurupadu Power Plant in Kadiam. The power plant was heavily damaged by 7B, and the whole area was devastated. Houses, trees, everything was stomped, and countless people died. (Nobody cares much about a few hundred poor dead people in this rural area.)

Today I was surprised to find out that somebody keeps track of storms in this area, and that "my" storm is ranked pretty high. Brought up some bad memories. :/ --Tetris L (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

02A: Where did it hit?
The article says 02A hit Somalia, but the track map shows that it hit Oman. Which one is correct?--UltimateDarkloid (talk) 14:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
