Cyclone Nargis Brings Devastation


When the strong tropical cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar (Formerly Burma), it leveled the area.  Right now, they are estimating 10,000 people may be dead.  At landfall, the storm was a Category 4 with nearly 130 mph winds.  In the Indian Ocean, hurricane season begins in May, so it’s not out of the question to get a storm this early for them. 

Check out this video of some of the devastation.
