Deadly Cyclone Leaves Millions Without Power in Bangladesh
----------------------------------------------------------

In Bangladesh, at least 16 people are dead and some 10 million were left
without power after a cyclone triggered torrential rains, heavy winds
and flooding in the capital Dhaka and across other parts of the country.
Cyclone Sitrang made landfall in the coastal regions of southern and
southwestern Bangladesh late Monday destroying homes and cutting off
telecommunications lines. About a million people were evacuated. This
comes as scientists warn climate change is likely making cyclones more
intense and frequent.
