Well no one has come forward with what the "B" stands for, but this storm is one for the records books anyway.
Reliable records from Yemen (one of the poorest countries in the world)are hard to come by, but if you piece the news reports together it is clear that TC 03 "B" caused at least:
100's of deaths,
100's more "missing", probably dead
10's of thousands newly homeless as their mud-brick hovels were washed away.
All of this from a cyclone that was barely ever a true TD level of storm.
Amazing.

I believe B stands for Bay of Bengal. Did the low originally form in Bay of Bengal.
Interesting blog. I like your coverage on global weather events. It's ironic that TD 03B is so far on par with Cyclone Guno in terms of # of deaths.
