At least 22 people in India and Bangladesh died from Cyclone Amphan as the storm continued to pound the densely populated, low-lying region on Thursday, officials said.

Amphan made landfall Wednesday with sustained winds of 105 miles per hour and gusts close to 120.

The ferocious storm has claimed the lives of at least 14 people in India and eight in neighboring Bangladesh, officials said.

“We have never seen or heard anything like it,” Javed Khan, a taxi driver in Kolkata, India told The Associated Press via WhatsApp.

“Windows rattled, the house shook, outside trees caught fire while others collapsed. We thought we would die,” Khan wrote.

In addition to the fierce winds, the countries’ coasts are dealing with catastrophic storm surges.

In the Indian state of West Bengal, the seawater traveled 15 miles inland, flooding the capital of Kolkata.

Many buildings in the city were severely damaged.

“We are facing three crises: the coronavirus, the thousands of migrants who are returning home and now the cyclone,” said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

In Bangladesh, at least a million people were without electricity, according to the Ministry of Power.
