It is cyclone that visits in Bangladesh almost every year. It comes as a natural calamity and causes untold sufferings to our lives and properties. It is a one kind of rotatory storms rising from the Bay of Bengal. It is attended with lighting, thunder and heavy rainfall etc.
The first indication of cyclone:
Cyclone comes with an indication. It destroys houses, crops, vegetables, trees etc in large scale. Most of the people become homeless, shelter less and starved for many days due to cyclone. It snatches away many lives from us. The first indication of cyclone is that the sky in the north-west is covered with dark cloud. Then the wind begins to blow with a moaning sound. Soon the sound of the wind becomes as loud as the booming of the cannon. The current of the wind is never steady and regular, but is always fitful and violent. The whole sky looks like a sheet of dark cloud. This is the sign of the imminent crisis. Blasts of winds grow stronger. This terrific state continues for hours together and it often lasts for a whole day.
Some natural disasters:
I can remember or mention some natural disasters. The cyclone of 1970 was one of the worst natural disasters of the 20th century. Thousands of lives were lost in this cyclone. The cyclone of 1985 and 1991 are also notable for their destructiveness. The cyclone Sidr is not tiny too. On the 15th November, 2007 it attacked our country. It also caused a huge loss to life, property and economy. Almost 3000 people lost their lives in this cyclone.
The losses of cyclones:
The losses of cyclones can be described in some words. Most of the trees are uprooted. Thousands of houses are razed to the ground. Hundreds of boats of fishermen are capsized in the big river and sea. Bridges and wireless towers are also damaged. The dangerous tidal bores sweep away innumerable cattle and houses. People remain food less and shelter less for days together. Various kinds of diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery etc. break out in an epidemic form in the affected areas. There is the scarcity of food, clothes and drinking water everywhere.
Cyclones in Bangladesh:
I can remember some of the worst cyclones in Bangladesh in the recent years. The cyclone of November 1970 was one of the worst cyclones in Bangladesh. Hundreds of lives were lost in this cyclone. The cyclone of 1985 and 1991 are also notable. The people who live near the river and lower part of the country are the most victims of these cyclones. The impact of cyclone in Bangladesh can not be described in words. Cyclone injures and kills thousands of people. Innumerable people become homeless or shelter less. They have to starve even for many days. Houses, trees, crops etc. are destroyed by cyclone. However, I can give a vivid description of any of it. It is cyclone Sidr which hit some parts of the country on the 15th November 2007. It caused huge damage to our life, property and economy. The sufferings of the affected people knew no bound. It snatched away at least 3000 peoples' life. In a word, it was one of the devastating cyclones.
Conclusion:
We cannot prevent natural disasters in any way but we can minimize losses. Therefore, disaster preparation and proper post disaster management can reduce the losses.
