1992 New Delhi by-election
In June 1992 a by-election was held for the New Delhi seat in the Lok Sabha (lower house of the parliament of India). The by-election was called after the resignation of the incumbent Member of Parliament L.K. Advani.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Background
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Advani had won the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat in the 1989 and 1991 general elections. However, Advani had also won the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat in 1991, and thus opted to resign from the New Delhi seat.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Background
The by-election was originally scheduled for November 1991, but was countermanded after the death of candidate Mukesh Kumar Garg of Kanpur.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
A whopping 125 candidates contested the by-election. The two main candidates were Bollywood star actors. The Indian National Congress fielded film star Rajesh Khanna as their candidate in the by-election. Khanna had contested against Advani in the 1991 election in New Delhi, and lost by a mere 1,589 votes. In the 1992 by-election his main opponent was another actor, Shatrughan Sinha of the BJP. Sinha, nicknamed 'Shotgun', had campaigned for the non-Congress opposition in the 1989, but without affiliating with any party at the time.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
In his 1992 campaign Sinha adopted a tough stance against Khanna and Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao, challenging the Congress government on election promises made in the 1991 campaign. India Today compared his election rhetoric to his performance as the rogue Chhannoo in the 1971 hit Mere Apne. BJP leaders campaigning on behalf of Sinha included Uma Bharti, Madan Lal Khurana, and Vijay Kumar Malhotra. Advani was notably absent from the campaign.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
Khanna's campaigners included H.K.L. Bhagat, R.K. Dhawan, and Vidya Charan Shukla. It was reported that H.K.L. Bhagat had also sought the Congress nomination for the by-election.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
The wives of the two contending film stars, Dimple Kapadia and Poonam Sinha, played a prominent role in mobilizing crowds for their husband's campaign rallies.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
Jai Bhagwan Jatav stood as the Janata Dal candidate in the by-election. Jatav was expected to do well amongst Muslim voters. In the buildup to the demolition of the Babri Masjid later in 1992, Muslims tended to perceive P.V. Narasimha Rao's Congress as taking a soft stance on the advance of the Hindutva movement.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Candidates
Independent candidate Phoolan Devi, known internationally as the 'Bandit Queen', was in jail at the time of the by-election. Devi had been imprisoned without trial since 1983 on around 50 charges, including murder.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Result
The election was won by R. Khanna. The by-election victory was interpreted as an important victory for the Congress government of P.V. Narasimha Rao.


1992 New Delhi by-election, Result
Khanna failed to be re-elected from New Delhi in 1996. Sinha was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 1996, and would later become a Union Minister. In his 2016 autobiography Anything but Khamoosh, Sinha expressed regret over having contested the 1992 by-election against fellow actor Khanna.


1992 New England Patriots season
The 1992 New England Patriots season was the team’s 33rd season overall and 23rd in the National Football League. It was the team’s second year with Dick MacPherson as head coach and the team had its third owner in the last five seasons. Businessman Victor Kiam, who had purchased the team from its founders, the Sullivan family, in 1988, sold the team to advertising executive and Anheuser-Busch scion James Orthwein in the 1991-92 offseason.


1992 New England Patriots season
The Patriots were looking to improve on their 6-10 record from the year before but instead regressed back to a 2-14 record. They finished last in the AFC East and their record tied the Seattle Seahawks for the worst mark in the entire league that season, but the Patriots finished dead last in the NFL because of their loss to the Seahawks. The Patriots did manage to earn the first pick in the subsequent draft.


1992 New England Patriots season
Following the season, wholesale changes were made. MacPherson and his staff were fired and Bill Parcells, who had last coached the New York Giants to victory in Super Bowl XXV, was brought in as his replacement. The 1992 team was also the last to play in the colors that the Patriots had played in since their founding, as the team adopted a new logo and a blue, silver, and red color scheme.


1992 New Hampshire Wildcats football team
The 1992 New Hampshire Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of New Hampshire as a member of the Yankee Conference during the 1992 NCAA Division I-AA football season.

1992 New Orleans Night season
The 1992 New Orleans Night season was the 2nd season for the franchise. They went 4–6 in 1991 and looked to make the playoffs in 1992, but they went 0–10 and missed the playoffs. Their 0–10 season was the 3rd winless season in Arena Football League history; the last team to do it before the Night was the 1991 Columbus Thunderbolts. They were disbanded after the season.

1992 New Orleans Saints season
The 1992 New Orleans Saints season was the franchise's 26th season in the National Football League, and the 17th with home games at the Superdome. This is also the last time the Saints qualified to the postseason until the 2000 season.


1992 New Orleans Saints season
The 1992 Saints surrendered only 202 points during the season (12.6 points per game), the lowest total by any team in the 1990s. They also gave up the fewest passing yards (2,470) and second-fewest total yards (4,075) of any team in 1992.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Offseason
The team entered 1992 with great expectations after its NFC West division title season of 1991. It was the franchise's first division championship since entering the NFL in 1967. Most preseason forecasts had the Saints making the playoffs again and another division title possible.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
The team opened 1992 at Philadelphia, their first road opener in 11 years. The usually steely defense showed some chinks as Eagles running back Herschel Walker rushed for more than 100 yards. Turnovers caused by the two great defenses kept the game close, but the Eagles won 15–13. Offensive struggles continued the next week vs. Chicago, as the Bears led 6–0 at halftime. Big plays on both sides of the ball broke it open for the Saints, as quarterback Bobby Hebert connected with wide receivers Eric Martin and Wesley Carroll on touchdown passes of 52 and 72 yards, respectively. Two second half scores by the Saints' defense capped the 28–6 win – a fumble return by Robert "Pig" Goff and an interception return by Reggie Jones. Those plays set the tone for the defensive unit throughout 1992.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
A 10–7 win over Atlanta followed and set up the annual battle with the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers had worn the title of "Team of the Decade" for the 1980s and were the primary stumbling block for an otherwise resurgent Saints franchise during Jim Mora's tenure as head coach. The Sunday night, prime-time audience saw a tight contest throughout. With the Niners leading 16–10, the Saints faced first-and-goal at the San Francisco 2-yard line. Saints guard Derek Kennard was flagged for holding and, on the next play, a pass into tight coverage was picked off by 49ers cornerback Eric Davis. It was the Saints' sixth consecutive home game against the Niners decided by seven points or less.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
The team rebounded with five straight wins and stood at 7–2 in the road game vs. the Niners. For three quarters, the Saints dominated the clock and scoreboard, leading 20–7 on two touchdown passes by Hebert. But the defense couldn't hold the lead as Steve Young led San Francisco on two touchdown drives in the 4th quarter to win 21–20.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
Most impressive of the Saints' 12 wins in 1992 came over the next three weeks, when the team won three home games in a 10-day span. The first was a Monday Night win over the Washington Redskins, 20–3, keyed by a Hebert-to-Early touchdown pass and stifling defense.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
Another eventual playoff team came to the Superdome the following Sunday, as the Miami Dolphins took a 13–10 lead into the second half. A blindsiding takeaway from Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino by speed-rushing linebacker Pat Swilling led to Robert Goff's second fumble return touchdown of the season. Later, cornerback Vince Buck returned an interception for a score as the Dolphins were defeated, 24–13.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Regular season
The third game in this trifecta was a Thursday night tilt against Atlanta. Despite several marches up and down the field – and a memorable rumble by fullback Craig "Ironhead" Heyward that left Falcons safety Scott Case staring up at the ring of lights high above the field –  the Saints offense managed just five field goals by late in the 4th quarter to lead 15–14. It was another defensive touchdown that saved the game for the Saints, this time an interception by Toi Cook. The Saints won two of their last three to finish 12–4, which was the second-best finish in team history.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Postseason, NFC Wild Card Game
Despite the .750 winning percentage, the Saints couldn't catch the 14–2 Niners for the division crown. In the Wild Card Game, the Saints faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of their tough opening  game loss and an equally bruising game in 1991 won by the Saints. The Saints dictated the pace during the first half, leading 20–7 on a Heyward touchdown run and a Hebert-to-Early touchdown pass.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Postseason, NFC Wild Card Game
Big plays on both sides of the ball turned game in the Eagles favor, the first being a Randall Cunningham-to-Fred Barnett touchdown pass and the last an interception return for a score by Eric Allen. The Eagles scored 26 points in the 4th quarter to win, 36–20. Until the 2018 NFC Championship Game, this was the last time the Saints lost a playoff game at home.


1992 New Orleans Saints season, Awards and records
Statistically, the team finished with the top defense in the league in points allowed (202) and second-best in total yards allowed (254.6 per game) They were 5th in the NFL in the giveaway-takeaway ratio(+9)as the defense feasted on 20 fumbles and 18 interceptions. Of those 38 takeaways, six were returned for touchdowns. Sam Mills led the team in tackles with 130. Wayne Martin led the team in sacks, with 15.5. On offense, the team's passing game enjoyed its best season of the Jim Mora era to date. Hebert completed 59 percent of his passes for 3,287 yards and 19 touchdowns. Wide receiver Eric Martin had the third and final 1,000-yard season of his career.


1992 New Territories West by-election
The 1992 New Territories West by-election was held on 30 August 1992 after the incumbent Legislative Councillor Ng Ming-yum of New Territories West died of blood cancer on 22 June 1992.


1992 New Territories West by-election
It was the second by-election in the constituency since the 1991 general election. The two-time candidate, conservative rural leader Tang Siu-tong defeated Albert Ho Chun-yan, vice chairman of the liberal United Democrats of Hong Kong (UDHK), and independent Sui See-chun with 51 percent majority, receiving 33,038 votes.

1992 New Year's Day Storm
The New Year's Day Storm (Norwegian: Nyttårsorkanen) was a powerful European windstorm that affected much of northern Scotland and western Norway on 1 January 1992. DNMI estimated the strongest sustained winds (10 min. average) and the strongest gusts to have reached 90 knots (46 m/s) and 62 m/s, respectively. Unofficial records of gusts in excess of 130 knots (67 m/s) were recorded in Shetland, while Statfjord-B in the North Sea recorded wind gusts in excess of 145 knots (75 m/s).


1992 New Year's Day Storm
There were very few fatalities, mainly due to the rather low population of the islands, and the fact that the islanders are used to powerful wind, and because it struck in the morning on a public holiday when people were indoors. In Norway there was one fatality, in Frei, Møre og Romsdal county. There were also two fatalities on Unst in the Shetland Isles.


1992 New Year's Day Storm, Impact, Norway
The New Year's Day Storm was the most devastating windstorm in modern Norwegian history, in terms of material damage. 29,000 buildings were affected, as well as large quantities of productive forest. In Norway the total damage cost was estimated to more than 2 billion NOK (1992 values). Norwegian mass media wrote afterwards that it was a 300-years hurricane. Meteorologists suggested rather that it had a wind speed with a repeat period of about 200 years on Norwegian territory. It had the highest wind speed measured in Norway until then, and has not repeated at least for the first 20 years after it.


1992 New Year's Day Storm, Impact, Norway
A relief action called Aksjon Orkan was set up, based in Oslo, a city which was not affected by the windstorm. Reactions among the populace in the affected areas were mixed. The action was supported by the County Governor of Møre og Romsdal, but the mayor of Vanylven scorned the perceived intent to collect "food and clothes for the windstorm victims", stating the lack of need for such aid. The people behind the action later claimed that this was never the purpose. By the middle of January Aksjon Orkan had collected NOK 600–800,000.


1992 New Year's Day Storm, Impact, United Kingdom
In the UK, Scotland was worst affected. The wind was most severe in the Northern Isles, especially in Shetland.


1992 New York City Marathon
The 1992 New York City Marathon was the 23rd running of the annual marathon race in New York City, United States, which took place on Sunday, November 1. The men's elite race was won by South Africa's Willie Mtolo in a time of 2:09:29 hours while the women's race was won by Australia's Lisa Ondieki in 2:24:40.


1992 New York City Marathon
A total of 27,797 runners finished the race, 22,536 men and 5441 women.


1992 New York Film Critics Circle Awards
The 58th New York Film Critics Circle Awards honored the best filmmaking of 1992. The winners were announced on 17 December 1992 and the awards were given on 17 January 1993.


1992 New York Giants season
The 1992 New York Giants season was the franchise's 68th season in the National Football League. The Giants finished in fourth place in the National Football Conference East Division with a 6–10 record. Head coach Ray Handley was fired after this season, when the Giants finished 1–6 after starting the season 5–4.


1992 New York Giants season
Injuries marred the Giants' season, especially at quarterback. Phil Simms, once again the team's starting quarterback, suffered a season-ending elbow injury in Week 4. With Simms out the team once again turned to Jeff Hostetler, the Giants' original 1991 starter and winner of Super Bowl XXV, to take his place. Hostetler, who had his own troubles with injuries including a broken back that ended his 1991 season, soon found himself out of the lineup after suffering a concussion in Week 12.


1992 New York Giants season
The Giants were then forced to turn to a pair of rookies, Kent Graham and Dave Brown, but Graham suffered from elbow and shoulder problems, and Brown suffered a broken right thumb. Hostetler returned for the final two games of the season, a win over the Kansas City Chiefs and a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.


1992 New York Giants season
Perhaps the most catastrophic injury was the torn Achilles' tendon suffered by future Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor in Week 10, as the Giants only won once more after the injury. It was the second consecutive year that an injury to Taylor ended his season prematurely (a sprained knee in Week 13 of the 1991 season forced Taylor to miss the final game of the regular season and a previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals).


1992 New York Jets season
The 1992 New York Jets season was the 33rd season for the team and the 23rd in the National Football League. The Jets were looking to improve on their 8–8 record under head coach Bruce Coslet in 1991 and also make a second consecutive trip to the postseason. However, it was not to be.


1992 New York Jets season
The Jets' problems began in the offseason when veteran quarterback Ken O'Brien announced he was holding out of training camp to get a new contract. O'Brien’s holdout continued into the season and Coslet named second-year backup Browning Nagle as the team's starter. Nagle did not have an effective year, only winning three of his thirteen starts. He was eventually replaced by O'Brien late in the year, but was pressed back into action after the veteran suffered a season-ending injury.


1992 New York Jets season
The Jets didn't win a game until Week 5 against the New England Patriots and only won three more times the rest of the year to finish with a 4–12 record. Two of those wins came against division rivals, the eventual AFC Champion Buffalo Bills and the AFC East winner and conference runner up Miami Dolphins.


1992 New York Jets season
In addition to O'Brien’s injury, the Jets saw career-ending injuries claim two of their star players and a season-ending injury befall another. In Week 2 defensive end Jeff Lageman, who had been a defensive star for the Jets during their 1991 playoff push, went down with a season-ending injury. Then, in a Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos, star receiver Al Toon suffered his ninth career concussion and was forced to retire immediately after eight seasons in the NFL.


1992 New York Jets season
Finally, in Week 13 against Kansas City, defensive end Dennis Byrd broke his C-5 vertebra in his neck; while going to try to sack Chiefs’ quarterback Dave Krieg Byrd ran headfirst into teammate Scott Mersereau to cause the injury. The Jets wore a decal on their helmets for the rest of the season with Byrd's #90 surrounding an ichthys and have not issued #90 since; Byrd has since regained the ability to walk.


1992 New York Jets season
With Byrd's injury still fresh in their minds the Jets went to Buffalo for their Week 14 matchup with the Bills and defeated them for their fourth and last win of the season. Denis Byrd was used as inspiration in the 2010/2011 playoffs by then Head Coach Rex Ryan. Byrd not only addressed the team prior to the upset win the AFC Divisional Playoff game at the New England Patriots, but his jersey that was cut off of him on the day he was injured was carried out to mid-field for the coin toss. Sadly Dennis Byrd was killed by a drunk driver in the winter of 2016.


1992 New York Jets season
After the season, Jets star running back Freeman McNeil announced his retirement. At the time of his retirement he was the all-time leading rusher in Jets history, but he has since been surpassed by Curtis Martin.


1992 New York Mets season
The New York Mets' 1992 season was the 31st regular season for the Mets. The Mets entered the season attempting to improve on their 1991 season, where due in part to a second half collapse they finished 78-84 and recorded their first losing record since 1983. Instead, they had a worse record of 72-90, missing the playoffs for the 4th consecutive year. All 81 of the Mets' home games were played at Shea Stadium.


1992 New York Mets season, Background
After contending for most of the first two-thirds of the 1991 season, the Mets stumbled from second place to fifth at the end of the season. The collapse cost second-year manager Bud Harrelson his job, as he was fired toward the end of the campaign. To replace him the Mets brought in Jeff Torborg, who had led the Chicago White Sox to second place in the American League West in 1991. In memory of the man responsible for bringing National League baseball back to New York, the Mets wore a memorial patch for William A. Shea during this season.


1992 New York Mets season, Background, Major acquisitions
The Mets' front office went to work trying to rebuild their squad that was only three years removed from their last playoff appearance. Their biggest acquisition was Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bobby Bonilla, who signed a five-year contract for just over $29 million that was one of the largest in league history at the time.


1992 New York Mets season, Background, Major acquisitions
Another major acquisition for the Mets was pitcher Bret Saberhagen, the former ace of the Kansas City Royals. The price New York paid to get him was steep, as the team traded their leading hitter, second baseman and future All-Star Gregg Jefferies, to acquire Saberhagen (along with outfielder Kevin McReynolds, their second leading home run hitter, and backup infielder Keith Miller).


1992 New York Mets season, Background, Major acquisitions
However, the Mets were in need of a front of the rotation starter after the team elected to part ways with All-Star pitcher Frank Viola following a collapse in the second half of the season that resulted in his finishing with a 13-15 record after an 11-5 start. Saberhagen was expected to fill the void left by the former world champion and was still highly regarded as a top flight starter.


1992 New York Mets season, Background, Major acquisitions
The Mets' acquisitions were rounded out by a pair of veterans. Second baseman Willie Randolph, who had spent 1991 with the Milwaukee Brewers, was brought in to replace Jefferies and had finished among the American League leaders in batting average the year before. To add some power to the lineup, the Mets also brought in Eddie Murray, who had been playing first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.


1992 New York Mets season, Background, Returning players
Although the Mets lost their leading hitter when they acquired Saberhagen, they were returning the defending National League leader in home runs and runs batted in with utility man Howard Johnson. The pitching staff would be led by ace Dwight Gooden, coming off a 13-7 campaign, and #2 starter David Cone, who had led the league in strikeouts en route to a 14-14 season which he finished with a one-hit, nineteen-strikeout performance against the Philadelphia Phillies; his strikeout total for the game tied the then-National League record.


1992 New York Mets season, Season
Despite the high expectations, the Mets regressed and finished the season with a 72-90 record, their first 90-loss season since 1983. The team managed to hover near .500 at the All-Star Break but only won thirty times afterward.


1992 New York Mets season, Season
The two marquee acquisitions for the Mets both fizzled in their first year in New York. Bonilla, despite improving his home run total from 1991 by one, drove in only seventy runs and hit below .250, drawing boos from the local fans who were expecting more from him given his record contract. Saberhagen was injured and ineffective throughout the season and only recorded fifteen starts with a 3-5 record. Their other two major additions had other luck. Murray, at 36, managed to hit 16 home runs and drive in 93 runs, but Randolph was injured for most of the season and only managed to play 90 games in what proved to be his final year as an active ballplayer.

Howard Johnson's numbers also fell as he battled injuries, with his home run total reduced to seven in 100 total games. No Mets player hit more than nineteen home runs (Bonilla), and only Daryl Boston even reached double digit home runs (11). In addition, only Bonilla and Murray recorded fifty or more RBIs for the season and, among qualified batters, the highest average anyone recorded was Murray's .261.

The pitching staff also had its share of issues. Closer John Franco missed much of the year with injuries and the team attempted to convert starter Anthony Young into a reliever to fill the role. This proved advantageous at first as he converted his first twelve opportunities. He then blew five of his last eight chances, taking the loss in all five games. In total, Young finished with a record of 2-14, with each decision loss being consecutive.


1992 New York Mets season, Season
Sid Fernandez led the Mets in wins and ERA and was the only Met starter other than Cone to post a winning record. Gooden posted his worst record as a starter to that point in his career, finishing at 10-13 and with a career low 145 strikeouts. Cone managed a 13-7 record and once again passed 200 strikeouts, but the Mets decided to part ways with him in August and he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays where he started and won that year's decisive World Series game.


1992 New York Mets season, Criticism
The fact that the Mets made such inroads to increase payroll with little to no result, combined with the distant attitudes and actions of some of the players and Jeff Torborg's inability to maintain control of the chaotic situation, led to a controversial account of the inner workings of the Mets during that 1992 season. The book was written by current North Jersey Media Group writer Bob Klapisch and current New York Daily News baseball writer John Harper, and titled The Worst Team Money Could Buy: The Collapse of the New York Mets (ISBN 0-8032-7822-5),


1992 New York Mets season, Criticism
Shortly after the book's April 1993 release, Klapisch was confronted by an irate Bobby Bonilla. Bonilla threatened Klapisch and kept trying to goad him into a physical confrontation.

1992 Nicaragua earthquake
The 1992 Nicaragua earthquake occurred off the coast of Nicaragua at 6:16 p.m. on September 2. Some damage was also reported in Costa Rica. At least 116 people were killed and several more were injured. The earthquake was caused by movement on a convergent plate boundary. It created a tsunami disproportionately large for its surface wave magnitude.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Tectonic setting
Nicaragua lies above the convergent boundary where the Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the Caribbean Plate. The convergence rate across this boundary is about 73 mm per year. There have been many large earthquakes in this part of the plate boundary, including events in 1982, 2001, 2012 (El Salvador, Costa Rica and Guatemala) and 2014. The 2001 and 2014 events were a result of normal faulting within the subducting Cocos Plate, with the others representing faulting along the plate interface.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Earthquake
This earthquake was the first tsunami earthquake to be recorded using modern broadband instruments. The initial surface wave magnitude, which uses only waves of a period of 20 seconds, was estimated at 7.0–7.2. The part of the Middle America Trench off Nicaragua contains relatively little sediment, allowing the slip to propagate up-dip all the way to the trench bottom, which tends to generate large tsunamis. The trench sediment here has been subducted and this soft material lies along the plate interface.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Earthquake
The rupture speed along such a zone is significantly slower than for most subduction zone thrust earthquakes, while the focus of the earthquake was much shallower than the typical subduction zone earthquake. Using longer period seismic waves, magnitudes have been calculated in the range 7.6–7.7 Mw , consistent with the size of the observed tsunami.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Damage and casualties
The first shock of the earthquake occurred at 00:16 GMT and was followed by several strong aftershocks. The quake was most widely felt in the Chinandega and León departments of Nicaragua, though it was also felt elsewhere in Nicaragua at El Crucero, Managua and San Marcos and at San José in Costa Rica. It was the strongest seismic event to hit Nicaragua since the earthquake of 1972.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Damage and casualties
At least 116 people were killed, most being children sleeping in their beds, with more than 68 missing and over 13,500 left homeless in Nicaragua. At least 1,300 houses and 185 fishing boats were destroyed along the west coast of Nicaragua. Total damage in Nicaragua was estimated at between 20 and 30 million U.S. dollars.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Damage and casualties
According to the Augusto César Sandino Foundation, the most affected were "inhabitants of small poor communities who live from diverse subsistence activities. Their houses, located beside the sea, were almost entirely destroyed. These people have lost their livelihoods, poor peasants who grow basic grains for their own consumption in marginal areas, and fisherpeople who have lost their fishing equipment, boats, storage sheds and warehouses. Their already extreme poverty has been exacerbated."


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Tsunami
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and it was one of three tsunamis to occur within a span of six months. Runup heights were measured shortly after the earthquake and reached heights of up to 9.9 meters, though the average height was 3 to 8 meters. The tsunami was disproportionately large for its surface wave magnitude, or Ms , and the duration of the rupture process was 100 s, unusually long for its size.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Tsunami
The moment magnitude was 7.6, larger than the 20-s Ms  of 7; this Ms –Mw  difference is a characteristic of tsunami earthquakes. Tide gauges were set up at Corinto and Puerto Sandino, which showed an impulsive tsunami originating 61 minutes after the earthquake. It ran inland 1,000 meters to Masachapa, the hardest hit major town of all, with 9 fatalities.


1992 Nicaragua earthquake, Relief efforts
From the onset of the disaster authorities provided initial assistance. President Violeta Chamorro stated in her speech to her nation on September 2, 1992, that no international assistance was needed. However, the Red Cross did assist in some operations while the National Civil Defence carried out much of the relief operations, with wounded people being transported to the Hospital Leon and Lenin-Fonseca Hospital.

1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was unofficially the most active year on record for the basin, with 10 tropical storms developing, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean – the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent – and the Arabian Sea to the west of India. The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department (IMD), while the JTWC releases unofficial advisories. An average of four to six storms form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November. Cyclones occurring between the meridians 45°E and 100°E are included in the season by the IMD.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
Overall, there was a total of 12 depressions, of which 7 became cyclonic storms, and 1 further strengthened to a very severe cyclonic storm. These totals were slightly above the long-term average of 5.4 cyclonic storms for the basin. In contrast to this, the JTWC reported record-breaking activity with 13 tropical cyclones, 11 of which became tropical storms. This included record activity in the months of October and November, each having three storms, while July saw its first system on record.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
The first storm of the year was Cyclonic Storm BOB 01 which formed on May 16 while the last was Deep Depression ARB 04 which dissipated over Somalia on December 24. The most intense was Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Forrest, which attained peak three-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph). Severe Cyclonic Storm BOB 07 proved to be the deadliest and most destructive of the year, claiming 263–423 lives across southern India and leaving $69 million in damage. Collectively, the season's storms killed at least 400 people and left another 549 missing.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Cyclonic Storm BOB 01
Following six months of inactivity across the Northern Indian Ocean, a tropical disturbance developed within a monsoon trough over the Bay of Bengal on May 15. Initially poorly organized, the system developed into a tropical depression the following day as it moved northwestward. Intensification was slow at first as the storm turned to the northeast. As it approached Myanmar, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated it to have attained winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), equivalent to a low-end Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Cyclonic Storm BOB 01
The India Meteorological Department (IMD), however, estimated the system to have been considerably weaker and only upgraded it to a cyclonic storm with 65 km/h (40 mph) was as it made landfall in Rakhine State on May 19. Once onshore, the storm accelerated and weakened, being last noted early on May 20 as a dissipating system near the Myanmar–China border.

Striking Myanmar on May 19, the storm caused considerable damage in coastal areas of Rakhine State. The hardest hit areas were Taungup, Thandwe, Manaung, Kyaukpyu, and Ramree. Throughout the region, 433 homes were destroyed and 24 boats sunk. According to the state-run Radio Rangoon, at least 27 people lost their lives and 19 others were reported missing. Additionally, 182 cattle were killed.

In early June, a small area of low pressure developed within the monsoon trough over the southeastern Arabian Sea. Following a notable increase in convection on June 4, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued and the JTWC initiated advisories on the system as a tropical depression the following day. After reaching tropical storm strength early on June 6, increasing wind shear displaced convection from the circulation center and prevented further development. Steering currents simultaneously became weak as the storm turned northward and moved along an inverted "S-shaped" path for three days before resuming a general eastward motion.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Cyclonic Storm ARB 01
Though already classified a tropical storm by the JTWC, the IMD did not start monitoring the system as a depression until June 8. The agency assessed the cyclone to have attained winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) on June 11 well to the southeast of Yemen. The storm ultimately succumbed to persistent wind shear and dissipated on June 12 just north of the island of Socotra.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Deep Depression BOB 02
A surge in the monsoon trough spawned a new tropical disturbance over the Bay of Bengal on June 14. Moving northward, the system consolidated and was classified a depression on June 17. Turning northwest, the system deepened into a tropical storm and struck Odisha, India with winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) later that day. According to the IMD, the system peaked as a deep depression with 55 km/h (35 mph) winds and a pressure of 980 mb (hPa; 28.94 inHg). Once onshore, the cyclone weakened to a depression before being last noted by the JTWC on June 18. The IMD continued to monitor the remnant disturbance through June 20 by which time it was situated over Madhya Pradesh.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Deep Depression BOB 02
Though only a deep depression according to the IMD, wind gusts up to 135 km/h (84 mph) caused extensive damage in Odisha. Seven people were killed in the Puri district due to fallen trees from high winds. Along the coast of the Puri and Cuttack districts a significant storm surge flooded numerous areas, damaging or destroying many homes and disrupting the electrical grid. The Hansa River also broke its banks near Koilipur due to a combination of the surge and heavy rains. Offshore, 370 fishermen went missing after sailing into the storm. The remnant system, entangled within the seasonal monsoon, produced torrential rains as far west as Gujarat. At least 41 people were killed in rain-related incidents across the country.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Deep Depression BOB 03
The monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression over the northern Bay of Bengal on July 24. It strengthened to a tropical storm on the 26th before hitting India. This was the first known storm to have attained tropical storm intensity in the basin during July since reliable records began in 1981. This rare July cyclone dissipated on the 28th.


1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 05B
On September 21, a monsoonal low formed over northern Thailand and moved westward, emerging over the Bay of Bengal later that day. Though a broad system, convection soon increased over its center and the JTWC issued a TCFA early on September 22. Turning northwest, the low organized further into a tropical depression and attained peak winds of 55 km/h (35 mph). Due to its proximity to land, it was unable to strengthen further and the depression later made landfall in southern Bangladesh on September 24. Turning back to the west, the dissipating system remained near the coastline and was last noted over India on September 25.
