Tropical Depression Wilma (2013), the unbelievable article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Depression_Wilma_(2013)

This is an unbelievably remarkable article in Wikipedia. Here is the introduction:

Tropical Depression Wilma, also referred to as Depression BOB 05, was a weak but long-lived tropical cyclone (JTWC designation: 30W) traveling from the Northwest Pacific Ocean to the North Indian Ocean in 2013. Forming east of Palau on November 1, the tropical depression passed through the Philippines on November 4 and emerged into the South China Sea on the next day. Without intensification, the system made landfall over Vietnam on November 6 and arrived at the Gulf of Thailand on November 7.

On November 8, the tropical depression crossed the Malay Peninsula and emerged into the Bay of Bengal. Being a low-pressure area later, it was struggling to develop until intensifying into a depression on November 13. The system made landfall over India on November 16 and caused 16 fatalities, before it weakened into a low-pressure area and then arrived at the Arabian Sea on the next day.

Traversing 3 basins is petty incredible in my opinion. I think 'unbelievable' is used more like an expression rather than, I do not believe, but I could be wrong. I think it's cool how a single system could last as long as it did.
