Cyclone Mocha wreaks havoc on Bangladesh and Myanmar coast.

Cyclone Mocha hit the coast of Myanmar and southeastern Bangladesh, uprooting trees, damaging homes, and causing a storm surge. Two people were killed in Myanmar, and thousands of people sought shelter in monasteries, pagodas, and schools. Bangladesh evacuated 1.27 million people, but the storm mostly missed the country. The Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar was spared from the central thrust of the cyclone. Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are becoming more intense more quickly due to climate change.
