Estimates by me may differ from official reports Super Cyclone Amphan is the costliest storm in the North Indian Ocean on record. It formed in mid-may in the southern Bay of Bengal before rapidly intensifying into a category 5. The storm weakened as it moved northward and struck the Indian state of West Bengal as a category 2, making a direct hit on Kolkata, a large city with over 14 million people. - Tags: #Hurricane #HurricaneAnimation #Cyclone #CycloneAnimation #SuperCyclone #CycloneAmphan #Category5 #Amphan #SuperCycloneAmphan #Weather #Kolkata #India #TropicalCyclone #Meteorology #2020 #ThatsALotOfTags
