Cyclone Amphan Can Bring Catastrophe To India, Crucial Rules To Stay Safe From The Disaster

Yesterday, cyclone Amphan landed on the eastern India and Bangladesh border. Though it has been weakened, Amphan is still the strongest storm ever in the Bay of Bengal, leaving wreckages wherever it went through.

Cyclone Amphan 1 — A man covering himself while walking in the heavy rain. Behind him, a tree is uprooted.

Cyclone Amphan 4 — The stormy sky before the cyclone made it landfall.

Before the storm had it landfall, both India and Bangladesh authorities tried to evacuate affected residents but the fact that millions of people would stay in the same place for safety also increases the risk of Covid-19 spread.

Cyclone Amphan 8 — Almost all streets in affected areas are flooded.

Having said that, hundreds of people have been gathered at cyclone centers in both countries. Some wear masks while others don’t.

Cyclone Amphan 10 — Bangladesh people stay in a cyclone center, not wearing face masks despite the risk of Covid-19.

Cyclone Amphan 9 — Still, many people are not evacuated to safe places.

The storm came with heavy rainfall and strong wind, making all the streets flooded while uprooting a lot of trees in the regions.

Cyclone Amphan 3 — Trees and branches laying on the streets.

Cyclone Amphan 13 — A big tree fall on the bus coming through.

Meanwhile, villagers in affected areas had to reinforce embankments with soil to prevent flood. Once it happens, shabby huts of these people won’t be able to save their lives.
