Typhoon Angela: At the start of the summary period, Angela was moving west-
northwest across the South China Sea with 75 kt winds. Angela continued west-
northwest into the Gulf of Tonkin on 6 November as it weakened to a tropical
storm. The cyclone weakened to a depression before moving inland over north-
ern Vietnam on 7 November, and it dissipated over land later that day.

There are no additional reports of damage or casualties from the Philip-
pines, and there are no additional reports of damage or casualties from else-
where along Angela's path.

peak intensity of 35 kt. Colleen weakened to a depression on 12 November, and
the system dissipated later that day near 17N 173E.

Tropical Cyclone 03B: Tropical Cyclone 03B formed near 11N 92E on 7 Novem-
ber. The system reached tropical storm strength later that day while moving
northwest. TC-03B followed a northwest track until it made landfall on the
east coast of India on 9 November. The system reached a peak intensity of 65
kt just prior to landfall. The cyclone turned north after landfall and weak-
ened to a low pressure system over eastern India and Nepal on 10 November.
