Dozens of people were killed, homes were flattened and millions left without power after Tropical Cyclone Amphan hammered the coasts of India and Bangladesh. VIllages were inundated with water and homes were destroyed across the region, including in the Indian city of Kolkata, where some 14 million people live. “It feels like a dystopian Jurassic Park of sorts, Shuli Ghosh, who runs a cafe in Kolkata, told The Associated Press. “The roofs of many homes have flown away and the streets are waterlogged. In West Bengal state, where Kolkata is located, 72 people were reported to have died, according to the AP. Two people were killed in Odisha state, also in India. Television stations in Bangladesh reported 13 deaths. Tens of thousands of homes were reported to have been destroyed in Bangladesh, the BBC reported. Enamur Rahman, a disaster management official in Bangladesh, told the AP that the storm caused an estimated $130 million in damage, with over 680 miles of roads damaged, as well crops and fish farms. The full scope of the damage still hasn’t been assessed because roads and bridges are washed out, preventing crews from reaching some areas. Communications are also down. “Area after area has been ruined,” West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee told the Press Trust of India news agency, according to the BBC. Banerjee said the cyclone was “a bigger disaster than COVID-19.” The storm made landfall south of Kolkata on Wednesday afternoon with winds equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane. The storm weakened over Bangladesh with some rain spreading over far northeast India, Bhutan and northern Myanmar. Millions of people fled ahead of the storm Tuesday, but restrictions put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated problems inherent in moving that many people. Officials struggled to find enough shelters for evacuees, the BBC reported. In the state of Odisha, for example, 250 of the more than 800 existing shelters are being used as coronavirus quarantine centers. In the neighboring state of West Bengal, cyclone shelters can usually house 500,000 people, but because of social distancing rules, that number has been slashed to 200,000, Satya Narayan Pradhan, director general of the National Disaster Relief Force, told CNN. Pradhan said 25 NDRF teams were deployed to the region, with 12 others ready in reserve. In Bangladesh, 12,000 shelters were set up to accommodate 5 million people. “We have taken necessary steps so that people can maintain distance and wear masks,” Enamur Rahman, the junior minister for disaster management, told Reuters.
