The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado of April 26, 1989 was the deadliest tornado on record with an estimated death toll of 1300. The tornado was on the ground for about 50 miles striking the cities of Daulatpur and Saturia. The extremely high death toll was the result of the tornado striking densely populated and very poor areas where shabby construction offered little protetction. This tornado was never rated; Bangladesh, where the tornado occurred, does not conduct storm surveys and poor construction makes it difficult to assess intensity.
