This AP graphic charts the deadliest cyclones in Bangladesh; includes map of storm's path and hardest hit cities.
Bangladeshi blogger The Third World View has a roundup on the cyclone devestation and ways you can help the people of Bangladesh.
Rezwan sees signs of progress:
Considering the force of the cyclone which is bigger than Katrina in USA (2004) and the 1991 cyclone in Bangladesh I would say that the casualties are much much lower. These days Bangladesh has learnt the lessons. Now it has more sophisticated early warning systems and cyclone shelters to save hundreds of thousands of people.
Waiting out Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh. (Rezwan)
The BBC reported that the death toll rose above 2,000 from the cyclone.
That cyclone was poor it should have killed a lot more...
ReplyDelete...that is just a plain old nasty comment...
ReplyDeleteThat was probably a comment from some jerkoff lefty troll trying to make readers here look bad. I'm sure help is pouring in from the regulars at Kos and the Huff, you know because THEY care so much. In the time it took that asshole to type that stupid remark he could have gone onto a charitable site and made a donation.
