The 1999 Odisha cyclone was the strongest recorded tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean and among the most destructive in the region.

It organized into a tropical depression in the Andaman Sea on October 25. The disturbance gradually strengthened as it took a west-northwesterly path, reaching cyclonic storm strength the next day.

The storm maintained its&nbsp;intensity as it made landfall in&nbsp;Odisha on October 29. The cyclone steadily weakened due to persistent land interaction and dry air, remaining quasi-stationary for two days before slowly drifting offshore as a much weaker system; the storm dissipated on&nbsp;November 4 over the Bay of Bengal.

The devastation led to 15,000 deaths and&nbsp;displaced thousands. Damage sustained to various sanitation infrastructure led to a heightened risk of communicable disease outbreaks including&nbsp;diarrhea and cholera which saw increased incidences following the storm. '

Within a month of the cyclone's landfall, the Odisha state government reported 22,296 cases of diarrheal disorders.
