Nargis

Nargis was a devastating tropical cyclone that struck Bangladesh in 2008. It was one of the most powerful storms of the year, with extremely strong winds and heavy rainfall, causing widespread flooding, damage to homes, and loss of life. Cyclones like Nargis form over warm ocean waters, gaining strength as they move, and often bring destruction to coastal regions through strong winds, storm surges, and flooding. Understanding Nargis helps highlight the importance of early warning systems and disaster preparedness in vulnerable areas.
