Cyclone Aila

Babul and his family live on the island of Dublar Char. Life is good for the family

now, but that wasn't true after Cyclone Aila. Babul doesn't remember Cyclone

Aila, but his parents often talk about that terrible night in 2009.

Babul's father had a grocery shop and his mother worked in a fish farm. They

had a small house that they shared with Babul's grandparents. Babul was just

a baby, but his sister Nipa was six years old.

Babul's father told him what happened that day. There was light rain in the

morning on 25 May. In the afternoon, the wind started to blow and

people began to run for their homes.

Babul's father closed his shop and his mother came home. His grandparents

checked the family's emergency kit. Their torch was working and they had

extra batteries. They put the torch, batteries and first aid kit in plastic box.

By the evening, the river was rising. The winds of Cyclone Aila shook the walls

of the house as if there was an earthquake. Everyone was afraid. Nipa began

to cry. Suddenly, there was an awful noise and the family's roof blew away!

The sky was dark, but the family could see trees flying over their heads.

Grandmother still says she saw fish flying through the sky.
