The storm appears to be the most severe since the ‘Great Orissa Cyclone of 1999’ (Orissa State in northeastern India is now known as Odisha State).

But officials took few chances with Phailin, especially given memories of a 1999 Orissa cyclone that devastated the coastline and left at least 10,000 people dead.
