India faced one of its worst cyclones ever recorded in history in the year 1839. Which of the following facts about it are true?

1. The cyclone struck Coringa, a city located on the south-western coast of India.
2. Coringa was an ancient port city, completely wiped off in this cyclone.
3. This storm caused the third largest loss of life worldwide from among all the tropical cyclones.

On November 25, 1839, an enormous cyclone caused a 40-foot storm surge that hit the ancient city of Coringa in present Andhra Pradesh. The cyclone wiped out the harbour city, destroyed 25,000 ships and vessels in its bay and killed 3,00,000 people. Survivors never entirely rebuilt the city. City of Coringa was known for ship building and repairing. This storm caused the third largest loss of life from any tropical cyclone worldwide, tied with Vietnam’s 1881 Haiphong typhoon (also causing 300,000 fatalities). Storms in the Bay of Bengal actually account for seven of the 10 deadliest hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones recorded in history.
