Cyclone Mocha wreaks havoc on Myanmar and Bangladesh coast.

Cyclone Mocha, equivalent to a category-five storm, hit the coastlines of Bangladesh and Myanmar, leaving at least five people dead in Myanmar. More than 1,300 bamboo shelters in Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee camp, have been destroyed. Authorities say more than 500,000 people were evacuated from their homes in this south-eastern stretch of Bangladesh. Storm surges of up to four metres could swamp villages in low-lying areas. The Bangladeshi meteorological department office said the maximum sustained wind speed within 75km (45 miles) of the centre of the cyclone was about 195km/h (120mph), with gusts and squalls of 215km/h.
