Monster cyclone slams northeast India, aims at Bangladesh

The enormous Cyclone Fani, equivalent in power to a Category 5 hurricane, slammed into northeastern India Friday, whipping the region with torrential rain and sustained winds over 120 miles per hour before moving toward neighboring Bangladesh. The storm forced more than a million people to evacuate, brought transportation to a standstill and disrupted Indian election events. Judy Woodruff reports.
