A strong cyclone made landfall early Sunday in Bangladesh. Hundreds of thousands of people have moved to shelters across the low-lying delta nation's vast coastal region.
Up to 1.8 million were expected to be evacuated by Saturday evening ahead of Cyclone Bulbul, said Enamur Rahman, Bangladesh's junior disaster management minister. More than 5,000 shelters had been prepared by Saturday morning.
The storm is also expected to impact parts of northeastern India, where precautions were also being taken.
According to U.S.-based AccuWeather Inc., Bulbul strengthened from a deep depression into a tropical cyclone on Thursday morning, and by Friday afternoon had strengthened into a severe cyclone. Bulbul was the equivalent of a Category 1 or 2 hurrican in the Atlantic, it said.
