A ragged-looking Tropical Storm Bijli draped the east coast of India in this image from the MODIS on NASA’s Terra satellite on April 16, 2009.

Bijli became a tropical storm in the northwest Bay of Bengal on April 15, and initially headed north, toward the west coast of India.

By April 16, it had begun a northeastward turn, however, and the storm was being projected to make landfall in eastern Bangladesh on April 17, according to Unisys.
