Description A severe cyclone and tidal wave hit the south-eastern part of India on December 23, 1964 causing unprecedented devastation. Weather forecast for December 21 had indicated that a severe cyclonic storm had formed in the Bay of Bengal and was centred about 1,200 km. south-east of Madras and was expected to move in a wes- terly or west-north-westerly direction. By the morning of December 23 the cyclonic storm had crossed northeast coast of Ceylon and was lying over the Gulf of Mannar centred about 50 km. east of Tondi when north-westerly gales exceeding 75 km. per
hour began lashing the coastal areas of Ramanathapuram district.
