[:ja]NASAの地球観測衛星Terraが撮影したインドとバングラデシュに上陸したサイクロン・アンファンです。
5月20日の夜、近年最強級のサイクロン「アンファン（Amphan）」がインド東部からバングラデシュに上陸し、両国で住民数百万人が避難し、祈りを捧げました。ベンガル湾で「スーパーサイクロン」が発生するのは1999年のサイクロン・オディシャ以来初めてで、5月18日には観測史上最も強い台風となりました。また、サイクロン接近に伴い、バングラデシュでは240万人、インドでは65万人超がすでに安全な場所に移動したとされますが、新型コロナウイルスの感染対策で課された予防措置に従う必要があることから、活動は難航しています。現在はカテゴリー2のハリケーンに弱まっています。
現地では、マスクをしながら人々が非難をしています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1032: Cyclone Amphan🇮🇳🇧🇩
NASA’s Terra satellite captured the Cyclone Amphan which made landfall in eastern India and Bangladesh.
Cyclone Amphan became the strongest storm ever recorded in the Bay of Bengal and the first super cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal since the 1999 Odisha cyclone, which tragically killed more than 9,000 people. More than 2 million people across 2 countries were evacuated ahead of the cyclone, but he evacuation efforts have been complicated by the coronavirus pandemic. It has since weakened to the equivalent of a Category 2 Atlantic hurricane. #Kolkata #Dacca
People in Kolkata are evacuating while protecting themselves from Corona Pandemic.
