"NETROKONA, Bangladesh -- Tornadoes swept through northern Bangladesh,
killing at least 38 people, injuring hundreds and blowing away thousands of
flimsy huts, officials said Thursday.

The twisters hit nearly two dozen farming villages in the neighboring
districts of Netrokona and Mymensingh on Wednesday night.

"It was dark, hot and humid just before the tornado struck," said Parfullah
Burman of the hardest-hit village of Gazaria. "I've lost everything."

The United News of Bangladesh news agency, citing unnamed officials and
witnesses, reported that 36 people died in Netrokona, raising the total to
48, but that could not immediately be confirmed.

Reporters at the scene said almost nothing was left standing along the path
of the funnel cloud."
