Babul’s father told him what happened that day. There was little 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.
