Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike the Indian state of Odisha since Phailin in 2013, is now the equivalent of a strong category 4 hurricane (winds 200 – 210 km/h gusts 230 km/h). Again you can read more about various level of cyclones as it reached speed more than 200 so Orgnisations are considering it into level 4 categories. As it nears the Indian state of Odisha as one of the most intense storms in 20 years.The name was contributed by Bangladesh and means 'hood of a snake'. Fani word also used in India, if you have seen cobra snakes they generally called as Fani snakes. World Meteorological Organisation is responsible to give name to cyclones , in generally name should be small and should be used very frequently by local people , also there should not be any controversy on it's name. One question will arise why more cyclones in Bay of Bengal than Arabian sea? answer is very simple, just because water of Bay of Bengal is warmer than Arabian sea , also too many fresh water are getting fall into Bay of Bengal from Ganga and Brhma Putra Rivers. Cyclone Fani unleashed heavy rain and windstorm with wind speeds up to 175 kmph, killing at least eight people, blowing away thatched houses, and swamping towns and villages, officials said.UN and other experts are saying India has did a good jobs in saving life. ISRO had given very early warning about Cyclone Fani and because of that Indian Government was able to evacuated more than 1 million people. In the year 1999 Odisha was hit by a super cyclone for around 30 hours which killed around 10,000 people .It shows that India has got very good technology to handle these kind of disasters . Only 12 people has been killed so far in this cyclone in India , even these 12 life was important still our government agency has did good job. Thanks to those volunteers also who are working to provide all kinds of helps for helpless people in Odisha.For Odisha it is really very bad because it impact too much on growth of state . Odisha regularly facing these kind of disasters which put Odisha on the back foot in development . Government of Odisha and Indian government need to thinks on this.
