The storm rapidly intensified into a Category 5 in the Gulf of Mexico, with explosive strengthening driven by near-record warmth across the region.

Infrastructures and crops were destroyed by tsunami-like surges, contributing to the devastation. This is what made Backerganj one of the most deadly cyclones in South Asia to date.5.
