‘NOTE 1- The occurrence of a tornado is possible in virtually any part of India. They are particularly more severe in
the northern parts of India. The recorded number of these tornados is too small to assign any frequency. The
devastation caused by a tornado is due to exceptionally high winds about its periphery, and the sudden reduction in
atmospheric pressure at its centre, resulting in an explosive outward pressure on the elements of the structure. The
regional basic wind speeds do not include any specific allowance for tornados. It is not the usual practice to allow for
the effect of tornados unless special requirements are called for as in the case of important structures such as, nuclear
power reactors and satellite communication towers.

NOTE 2 – The total number of cyclonic storms that have struck different sections of east and west coasts are
included in Fig. 1, based on available records for the period from 1877 to 1982. The Figures above the line (between
the stations) indicate the total number of severe cyclonic storms with or without a core of hurricane winds (speeds
above 87 km/h) and the figures in the brackets below the lines indicate the total number of cyclonic storms. These
have been included only as additional information.’
