Storm surge floods coastal areas in Bangladesh, thousands flee homes

A wall of water whipped up by strong winds over the Bay of Bengal has flooded coastal areas in Bangladesh, forcing about 150,000 people to flee their homes.


A storm surge over the past two days has sent waves 1.5m-high crashing into several towns and villages along the coast of the low-lying nation, but so far, there have been no reports of casualties.
