A powerful cyclone equivalent to the strength of a strong Category 4 Atlantic hurricane or a super typhoon in the West Pacific is heading toward the India-Bangladesh border. On May 18, the storm became the strongest ever recorded within the Bay of Bengal.

India and Bangladesh ordered more than two million residents to prepare to evacuate Tuesday as Super Cyclone Amphan approached the countries’ southern coasts.
