Millions of people have been ordered to evacuate from coastal areas of India and Bangladesh ahead of a super cyclone that's already tied a record for the strongest storm in the region.
Super Cyclone Amphan is forecast to make landfall Wednesday morning near the border of the two countries. Forecasters warn of extensive damage from high winds, heavy rainfall, tidal waves, and some flooding in crowded cities like Kolkata.
“This type of cyclone can be disastrous ... It is completely unsafe,” India’s meteorological chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said Tuesday.
