Deaths were reported in Myanmar after the storm tore down homes, trees and blew the roofs of shelters. Mocha is the most powerful cyclone to hit the region since 2007.
EDnews informs via CNN that cyclone Mocha slammed into coastal areas of southeastern Bangladesh and Myanmar on Sunday, flooding the port city of Sittwe.
Several deaths were reported in Myanmar after the most powerful cyclone to hit the region in more than 15 years lashed their townships.
Packing winds of up to 210 kilometers per hour (130 miles per hour), equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, the cyclone forced authorities to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people to shelters.
Rescuers evacuated close to 1,000 people trapped by seawater along the western Myanmar's coast.
In Saint Martin's Island, some 300 homes were destroyed, reported Prothom Alo, a leading Bengali-language daily.
It said the storm was reported to be uprooting trees and bringing heavy rain along the coast at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.
The cyclone was expected to affect more than 2 million people in its direct path.
