Abstract

Villagers in Srikakulam recall the raging winds and the foaming sea when Cyclone Phailin struck eastern India in October 2013. Would Gangamma Thalli, their Sea Mother, really hurt them? The government begged them to flee the coast but to a poor fisherman, evacuation is never an easy choice.
