Bangladesh - Cyclone kills 6
CYCLONE Mahasen buffeted Bangladesh's low-lying coast on Thursday, killing six people after forcing many thousands into emergency shelters, but authorities downgraded warnings later in the day as the storm lost strength.
A storm surge did cause some flooding along the coast at high tide and thousands of huts were destroyed by torrential rain and wind, but the devastation was not as bad as feared.
Neighboring Myanmar, where there were fears for the safety of many thousands of internally displaced people living in camps, also appeared to have been largely spared.
The storm then moved northeast, into northeastern India, as it lost strength.
