Destruction as Cyclone Fani hits Bangladesh
At least a dozen people have died in Bangladesh as Cyclone Fani hovers over the country's south-west coast.
Battering rain storms and heavy winds of up to 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles) have been recorded from the storm, which first made landfall in India's Odisha state on Friday.
Fani then crossed over India's West Bengal state and moved northeast toward Bangladesh on Saturday, weakening from a severe cyclonic storm to a cyclonic storm.
Director of Bangladesh Meteorological Department Shamsuddin Ahmed said that weather conditions should improve by Sunday afternoon.
