Warning! Tropical Cyclone Targets India, Bangladesh, Myanmar! |
|---|
|
A large zone of unsettled weather over the Indian Ocean has resulted in the formation of two tropical cyclones this week.
The first area, just east of Sri Lanka, will pose the greatest threat to land, as the potential tropical cyclone could bring impacts to areas from northeast India to Bangladesh and Myanmar. Bangladesh and northeast India have received 6-12 inches of rainfall during the past week, so additional heavy rainfall from a tropical cyclone would likely produce widespread flooding and possible mudslides. In particular, the coastal Bangladesh city of Chittagong, a city of 2.5 million people, received more than 15 inches of rain in the past 8 days. Cyclones that have hit these areas in the past have been some of the most deadly across the globe. In 2008, Tropical Cyclone Nargis devastated parts of Myanmar with some estimates of more than 100,000 people killed by the storm. A tropical cyclone that hit Bangladesh in 1991 reportedly killed more than 100,000 people as well. [collected] |
