A person was killed in Kolkata after being hit by a flying object during the storm.

Officials have said that it is too early to estimate a toll on life or damage to property as the hardest-hit areas were still not accessible. With heavy rain and winds with speeds of up to 190 kmph, the cyclone hit Digha coast of West Bengal at 2.30 pm on Wednesday.
