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 reported 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.
