Powerful Cyclone Grows East of India a Week After a Cyclone Killed at Least 140 in India's West
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A severe cyclone is brewing in the Bay of Bengal and is forecast to slam
into northeast India Wednesday with 100-mile-per-hour winds. This comes
just one week after another cyclone battered India's western state of
Gujarat as the most powerful storm to hit the region in two decades,
killing at least 140 people. Over the weekend, authorities said 61
bodies had been recovered from a barge carrying oil workers that sank in
the Arabian Sea last week.
