A Natural Disaster You Have Experienced
Bangladeshis a land of natural disasters. Every year natural
disasters like flood, cyclone visit our country and cause much
destruction. These disasters are constant companions of the people of
our country. Last year I had a terrible experience of a storm. It was
the month of Baishakh. One day I got the news that my grandfather became
very sick. Immediately I started for my village. When I reached the bus
station of our Upazilla, it already became dark. The sky was cloudy.
Our village is 3 kilometers from the bus station. I started running for
my home. Suddenly the storm started. The wind was blowing with a
terrible speed. There was lightning and thunder in the sky. I was in the
middle of rice field. There was nobody around me. I was in a fix what
to do. I started running with fear but could not see anything.
Fortunately, I heard two people talking inside a small house made of
straw. Entering the hut I got relieved. They gave me lungi and shirt to
put on. I thanked them for their help. The storm continued for 2 hours.
Then a calm and serene atmosphere prevailed. I started for my village
again. Later I came to know that the storm was a cyclone and it caused
much destruction in five villages of our Upazilla. Many houses were
destroyed and many domestic animals were killed. It also damaged the
standing crops of the field. I shall never forget the terrible
experience of that storm.
