SIDR-Cyclone part 2

Posted on 11/22/07

The eye of Hurricane Sidr's was bigger than the size of Bangladesh.  Its actual path could not be known until 2 days after assessing the damage of the storm.  An updated path has been provided in the map below. I have also included the population distribution by Districts. The death toll will never be known since most coastal population have been washed away in the 20-30 feet tidal surge. Initial estimate of 5,000 may be too small. Actual count could far exceed 15,000 according to some estimates on the ground. Urgent help is needed.
