Houses destroyed by cyclone Mokha. Sunday afternoon at St. Martin's Union

Cyclone Mokha, which originated in the Bay of Bengal, hit the coral island of St. Martin with an area of eight square kilometers in the sea.At least 900 mud and half-made tin houses of the island were destroyed in a three-hour rampage from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm on Sunday. At least 3000 trees including 420 coconut trees were damaged.
11 people were injured in the storm. Apart from this, the north side, west side and some areas of the east side of the island have been flooded by the tidal wave.About 6,000 local residents were evacuated to 3 cyclone shelters, 4 educational institutions and 37 hotel-resort-cottages on the island before the onset of the cyclone.
Most of whom are children and women. They left the shelter and went back home after the cyclone subsided on Sunday evening.St. Martin Union Parishad (UP) Chairman Mujibur Rahman claimed that Mokha's three-hour rampage was stronger than the catastrophic cyclone of 1991. In the evening, he told stProthom Alo, when Cyclone Mokha hit St. Martin, the sea was ebbing. The height of the tide was also low due to the dead channel. The muzzle velocity was 180 to 190 kmph.
UP Chairman Mujibur Rahman, highlighting decades of experience, said that the residents of St. Martin were in a state of panic due to the campaigning from the beginning about the horrors of Cyclone Mokha. About 6,000 islanders took to shelters earlier due to extensive campaigning. He had not seen so many people leave their homes and go to shelters in the last few decades. Because of this, no one was killed in the three-hour rampage.
