Prima roger around there for us in stay safe primo well be talking to you throughout the evening well lets now go to jesse karyn jesse youre in addition stated we know there have already been deaths there just how prepared are people feeling. Well as a matter of assurance according to the government of what he said the worst is over an already said because a land falling vest been one that started and there was wind speed which process was through joining this trip so that i can buy less of that and i think almost all of so did the expense im going to put up more than 8200 Kilometers Per Hour and thats as far as widespread damage in those 80 especially when by listening to this case that ive been lost after. These have been reported a lot of damage of people have been reported but the exact data maisies that to be accepted in the District Administration needs to get back on this but thankfully no further deaths have been reported except the in friend who died this morning as as a wall fell on him this morning so as far from that no other casualty have been reported so far but the good news is that the worst is over by now the author does have to get back to that his tradition was absolute and to just to carry on and i dish of fate for us well thats now speak to town via chattering hes live for us in the band Additional Capital dhaka country as weve been saying a Global Pandemic and now this just how have evacuees been coping trying to socials distance amid amid the possible onslaught of the fine cutting. Yeah thats a very difficult situation its a very densely populated country i mean so far what we know is 2400000 people have been sheltered in designated areas now these cyclon shelters or schools that are used as cycling shelters are not you know very that there dont have enough space so in a limited space hundreds and thousands of people are crammed into different parts of the coastal areas its not going to provide any social distance call that is if its there its going to spread unfortunately now theres a bigger challenge of my mother shes facing right now the cycling as we speak it started hitting bangladesh in the southwestern coastal beldin division which is now to calcutta and the shown there by name we spoke to our contacts in those area they said the sea level is rising theres been titled subj already several houses been destroyed as often are we cannot independently confirm but we know that one person an elderly man of 70 years old died when a tree fell in your fashion area another person rescue worker drone earlier in the day in a stormy sea so most of the reports going to start coming out enough to 34 hours once the cyclon crosses roads communication will be slapped electricity will be gone and people will undoubtedly lose their crops and fisheries in the coastal but a major challenge in this pandemic crisis times when all of the economies faltering and thats not shia and weve also been talking about these hundreds of thousands of ranger refugees weve now been told to shelter in place as the storm arrives given the strength of the storm is not going to be enough protection for them. There is 50 shows that been made on hand ready in case they have to move them now we also know that there are 100. 00 plus knowing i refugees who are kept in quarantine an island called bosham chart insult central they have been put into a shelter because that island is very dangerous during cyclon time not 3rd this did come from theyve been putting to shelter name to National Organization of migration said that rescue workers and this shelter ready fortunately i of the storm is not going to catch cox but that most likely that southwestern part but its going to be devastating in case that wind speed is high and there is torrential rain it could mean mudslide it could mean flood it could mean all the shelters should stop is going to be blown away which we seen in 2017 in june in the psych prone most of the roads are made out of polythene and bamboo so theyre very vulnerable undoubtedly a major challenge again and a refugee camp as well chadri there for us in the bangladeshi capital dhaka thank you very much ted we will continue following this very closely and come back to the studio were going to talk to al jazeera meteorologist rob mccallum hes been following this very closely weve now seen landfall what happens next he carries on as hes been following who you have a towards calcutta called custer if you like we should be there in 2 or 3 hours that it will weaken but thats only stage one you saw what the wind damage is likely to be but we did the 1st so you know following that you got the storm so sure lets have a look behind me this is where it was what ive done is cut of the satellite picture give you no idea of where the main rain belt is and how far it spreads so it goes it goes the other side of the coast to be in ma and bangladesh and of course in addition and west bengal but official landfall to 18 minutes past 5 local time to say it seems the following the who if it was a direct line to kolkata winds about 155 to be brass the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane the storm surge is to follow the amount of rain over the city. We know that 250. 00 millimeters all more in 24 hours the path it will take over the next few hours seems to be more or less directly but just east of north and eventually to northern bangladesh and towards baton and northern india as i said thats thats just rain the immediate future is the storm surge what i got here is a way that moves along the coast because the storm went up the river who really it will be to the east of that the river itself may go even experience a storm surge but all the mangroves and the southern part of biased right towards the coast will see a series of tides next to ties probably lifted by 3 to 5 meters in dating all that low lying land and thats of course brought in because the winds are still blowing so although the rain is further west the winds are still blowing the surface of that water so that takes a storm surge and of course the big waves its at one stage were 50 meters tall so theres still a lot of battering from the water to come despite Everything Else thats gotten us 15 minutes of thank you rob.
