A woman sits with her child next to storm-ravaged buildings on May 4 after Cyclone Fani swept through the eastern state of Odisha. The cyclone killed at least 34 people in India and 15 in Bangladesh. Reports credited the vastly improved disaster readiness efforts of the countries, which evacuated millions of people from the powerful storm’s path, with preventing a much larger death toll.
