Rasmilia Chandra said her husband's uncle and niece died when the village of Pante Rada was swept out to sea Sunday. Another uncle, aunt and nephew survived, but their home is gone, Chandra said.
It took the Chandras more than two days to find out what happened to their relatives. ``I call every three hours. Until now, they cannot find the body. All the Pante Rada village goes to the sea,'' she said. ``This village, gone.''
Chandra, who has lived in Oklahoma for seven years, said she was told there are bodies in the streets of Pante Rada and not enough people to collect and bury them. Aid workers cannot reach the village because a bridge is closed
