Cyclone Senyar leaves over 1 000 dead, millions affected across Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia

"Over 1 000 people have died and hundreds remain missing after rare Tropical Cyclone
Senyar brought severe flooding and landslides across Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Senyar was a very rare cyclone, being only the second known system to form over the Strait of Malacca after Cyclone Vamei (2001). Like Vamei, Senyar was compact but well-organized, confirming that although extremely rare, equatorial tropical cyclones can occur under brief favorable conditions." W
