Description : Cyclone Fani entered Bangladesh as a weakened deep depression in 2019, after causing severe destruction in eastern India. 17 people died across 10 districts in Bangladesh, including deaths caused by falling trees and lightning strikes. Authorities moved approximately 1.2 to 1.6 million residents to thousands of cyclone shelters, which significantly reduced potential casualties. Storm surges breached earthen dykes and flooded dozens of coastal villages. Over 13,000 homes were damaged or destroyed, and tens of thousands of acres of farmland suffered severe crop losses.
