Although the date I've seen has always been April 29, the cyclone is listed under April 30. With timezone changes and the continuous nature of cyclones it is likely that either date is correct. Most sources just say "April". Jdorje
The cyclone started crossing the Chittagong coastline at around 10 pm or so on 29 April, 1991. It continued through the whole night. As someone staying up all night holding our doors and windows while battling the wind and looking into whole houses blown away, the whole incident was a memorable one for me. The date is, correctly, both 29 april and 30 april. --Ragib04:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article says it had a pressure of 898 mbar at landfall. This came from a UK technical memorandum on the 1999 Orissa cyclone (listed in the external links), but it is mentioned there only in passing and is almost too low to be believed (I'm fairly positive this would qualify as the most intense recorded landfall anywhere).

898mbar pressure comes from Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimate. See Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1991. However, in my opinion it is questionable whether Western Pacific scale can be used to estimate minimal central pressure of Indian Ocean cyclone (by comparison, WPac and Atlantic scales are totally different). Labor Day Hurricane made landfall at 892mb, and Gafilo made landfall at ~900mbar too. --Mikoyan2113:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It will be really cool if someone can get the photo of "Shaktiman", the huge crane that smashed into the Karnaphuli Bridge and broke it into two halves. --Ragib07:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why does this call this "Cyclone Marian"? And where does the "Cyclone Gorky" name come from, can the background on that be added to the article? — jdorje (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was looking up stuff about another unrelated catastrophe (Malpasset Dam Break), and the page that had info on it (meaning the dam; it was a French site) charted the deadliest incidents worldwide (Malpasset was in the lower rungs), but higher than it was "Cyclone Tropical Gorky" for this year. So overall, I'd safely say this cyclone's most used name is "Gorky". Jake52My island05:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
