Myanmar (Burma) is one of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia. But on Saturday, her pain and poverty were multiplied beyond measure.


A 120 mph cyclone, now being called one of the most disastrous storms in history, created a 12 foot tidal wave that, in the words of one survivor, “jumped out of the ocean” and surged across densely populated delta areas of Myanmar (Burma) in Southeast Asia. Newswires are reporting 100,000 may be dead, with many more missing. Over a million are without homes and survivors are facing critical food and health issues. Some fear that the death toll could go well above 100,000.
