India was hammered by powerful Cyclone Phailin over the weekend, forcing nearly a million people to evacuate from their homes near the coast. Though at least 25 people have been reportedhttp://www.weather.com/news/weather-hurricanes/photos-tropical-cyclone-phailin-20131012 killed from the storm, it hit the same coast as a 1999 cyclone that killed 10,000 -- a testament to the lives saved from a mass evacuation.
Thousands of homes were destroyed by Phailin and the coastline has been heavily damaged. Pictured above is a gallery of the destruction left behind by the storm's incredible winds and surge.
