On October 29, 1999, a super cyclone with winds of 300 mph hit Odisha, causing what was perhaps the worst cyclonic tragedy in the previous century. The super cyclone's wind speed was so high that the anemometer, a device used to measure wind speed, at the IMD headquarters and at Paradip failed to register it.
