According to Wikipedia "Cyclone Nargis was a strong tropical cyclone that caused the deadliest natural disaster in Burma's (also known as Myanmar) recorded history. The cyclone made landfall in the country on May 2, 2008 causing catastrophic destruction and at least 34,273 fatalities with a further 27,838 people still missing. However, Labutta Township alone was reported to have 80,000 dead and some have estimated the death toll may be well over 100,000. The official Red Cross estimate is between 68,833 and 127,990 people killed."
My prayers go out to all the victims of this storm, those that lost their own lives and those that lost their family and friends during this disaster.
