<b>October 12, 1737:</b> The worst ever recorded earthquake in India, over 8 on the Richter scale, followed by devastating hurricane (probaby accompanied by a tsunami), hit the shores of Bengal near Kolkata, on the night between October 11 and 12, claiming at least 300,000 lives. East India Company chronicles record some massive disaster without caling it an earthquake. Some historians have of late disputed the event altogether, many doubt the number killed.
