The state of Odisha sustained the most catastrophic damage associated with Cyclone BOB 06, which was considered the state's severest cyclone of the 20th century. However, other estimates suggested that the death toll may have been as high as 30,000. Total damage caused by the destructive cyclone amounted to US$4.4444 billion.
Along the Odisha coast, the cyclone generated a storm surge that brought water up to inland, inundating a large swath of coastal areas.
