MOUSOUNI ISLAND: Bangladeshi and Indian authorities on Saturday ordered more than 450,000 people to flee coastal villages and islands as Cyclone Bulbul headed for the Bay of Bengal coast.

The eye of the storm, packing winds of up to 120 kilometers (75 miles) per hour, was expected to hit land around the Bangladesh-India frontier late Saturday.

A storm surge up to two meters (seven feet) high was predicted along the coast, Bangladesh’s Meteorological Department said.

Bangladesh troops were sent to villages to help with the evacuation. About 55,000 volunteers were also going door-to-door to warn residents.
