Cyclone Amphan leaves trail of devastation along coast of eastern India, Bangladesh
Hundreds of villages were submerged by a tidal surge across the vast coastal region, disaster-response authorities said.
The cyclone weakened after slamming ashore Wednesday evening amid massive evacuations. Officials warn that relief and repair work will be made harder by the coronavirus pandemic, which has already sapped the health care system.(Supplied photo)

Cyclone Amphan, the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane, was packing sustained winds of up to 170 kilometers (105 miles) per hour with maximum gusts of 190 kmph (118 mph) when it crashed ashore.
Designated a super cyclone, Amphan has weakened since making landfall. Moving inland through Bangladesh, it was downgraded to a cyclonic storm on Thursday by the Indian weather office. And the storm was expected to subside into a depression later.
