In Dhaka, cyclone Mahasen comes to the hot city this morning with welcome gentle rain – we are grateful – but fear what else she has in store…

Roughness of Mahasen’s rain starts to gain – morning shower gaining power – morning breeze bullying trees – thoughts toss to the sea.

…

Rain washed city sky, morning wakes to bird song and blue sky. News is sad, but not so bad – expected much worse – thank Mahasen for small mercies.
