I'm ok...

Thank you so much for your concern.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get in touch with people but everything was offline and we didn't have any power all over the nation for 24 hours. The power is back on but not fully functional, comes and goes.

For us living in the concrete jungle of Dhaka city the extent of damage is primarily uprooted trees and broken lamposts and some injured pedestrians. The casualties primarily occurred around the coastal areas. The death toll is well into the thousands and still rising.

If anyone is interested in helping,
Here's a list of organizations that are accepting donations for Cyclone Sidr victims:
