India: Cyclone Aila Strikes

Scores of people were killed and many injured in India and Bangladesh as cyclone Aila made a downfall in the region earlier today. Sukanya at Notes from wherever I happen to be… writes from Kolkata: “trapped as we were at work…while Aila created havoc. [..] Uprooted posts, torn wires and hoardings by the wayside and a marked absence of public buses and autos…we were the lucky ones. Many weren't so.”
