Bangladeshis were warned that a cyclone was ready to come their way and it did, on the night of the November 15th last year.
Cyclone Sidr struck south east Bangladesh turning millions of lives upside down and killing thousands.
Many survivors were left struggling for basic necessities such as tents, rice, drinking water and medicines.
This special documentary marks three months since that tragic event.
BBC reporter, Siobhann Tighe, missed the cyclone by just a matter of days.

She was finding out first-hand just how vulnerable this poor country is to extreme weather.
Three months on, she retraces her steps, speaking to some of the survivors and hearing their traumatic stories.

As well as speaking to families in the affected region, she also talks to government advisors and climate change experts.
