2 It occurred in Manikganj District, Bangladesh. Even though it lasted only a few minutes, it was the deadliest tornado on record.

3 It happened on April 26th, 1989 at 6pm local time. It was estimated to be one mile wide.

4 1300 estimated deaths. 12000 injured. 80000 homeless. Houses were completely destroyed. Prior to the tornado, there was a drought for 6 months. One factor that is believed to intensify the conditions.

5 I didn't manage to find who helped out, but I'm guessing the police managed to save some after since the tornado was unexpected. There was no specific cost to rebuild, but I am guessing somewhere in the millions! The Fugita scale is unknown due to poor housing and lack of data.
