Storm victims try to retrieve their belongings from their destroyed homes in Barisal town, 280 km (174 miles) from the capital Dhaka November 17, 2007. Cyclone Sidr smashed into Bangladesh's southern coastline late on Thursday night with 250-kph (155 mph) winds that whipped up a 5-metre tidal surge. It was the strongest cyclone since a 1991 storm killed some 143,000 people in this country. REUTERS/Rafiqur Rahman (BANGLADESH)
