According to officials, a tornado gushed through nearly two dozen villages southeast of the Bangladeshi capital resulting in killing at least 20 people while tearing roofs off houses and uprooting trees and power pylons.

In fact, more than 500 residence were known to have suffered damage.

Fact-fully, rescue teams were dispatched to the area, but uprooted trees and wrecked vehicles closed large stretches of highway and rail lines while among the damaged buildings was Brahmanbaria jail, which partially collapsed, killing a guard.

According to the officials, all inmates remained inside the facility and were safe.

To conclude, Mohammad Nizam, a village resident said that it destroyed everything he had and  nothing is left and it seems that they found themselves rolling in the mud within minutes.

It's really mournful as well shocking!

One can never rule out natural disaster as it will come when it has to and leave when it wants to. One has to to face it without any choice.
