Cyclone Mocha intensifies, heads towards Myanmar and Bangladesh.
TL;DR
Cyclonic Storm Mocha is expected to make landfall near the Myanmar-Bangladesh border region as a major tropical cyclone and potentially a catastrophic one. The region is known for tropical cyclone mega-disasters, with extraordinary storm surge hitting highly populated areas. The ongoing civil war in Myanmar adds to the risk for large populations. People near the landfall zone and in low-lying areas across the region should be finalizing preparations or evacuations as necessary.
