F.5. Phailin and Blue Carbon
A Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (VSCS) Phailin
originated from a remnant cyclonic circulation
from the South China Sea. The cyclonic circu-
lation lays as a low pressure area over the Ten-
asserim coast on 6 October 2013. It subsequently
moved over to the North Andaman Sea as a well-
marked low pressure area on October 7. It con-
centrated into a depression over the same region
on October 8 moving west-northwest wards and
then intensi
210 km/h gusting up to 220 km/h
(Fig. 7.21 ). It caused very heavy rainfall over
Odisha leading to
-
oods and strong gale winds
causing large-scale structural damage and storm
surges triggering widespread coastal inundation
over Odisha.
A satellite image of Cyclone Phailin is pic-
tured in Fig. 7.22 . The impacts of Phailin and
ensuing
fl
oods affected more than 13.2 million
people, left
fl
ve districts of Odisha under water
(Figs. 7.23 and 7.24 ), and caused hundreds of
millions of dollars (GoO 2013 ) in damage to
homes, schools, crops and the

morning of October 9 and further into a cyclonic
storm (CS),
