A carried signal became a confirmed river flood. Four rivers are above danger level — the Bhogai-Kangsha, Someshwari and Mogra in Netrokona and the Manu in Moulvibazar — after 160 mm at Nikli, and the national flood-warning centre puts the risk spreading to Sylhet, Sunamganj and Habiganj within 72 hours. It is the one place on this board where the lead time is still long enough to move people rather than rescue them, and it draws almost no coverage. Reached through a national desk rather than off the bulletin page and marked reported. (Handled with care.)
