When I saw some of these pics I thought of Katrina but this was even worse

We will see more deaths and dying all over the world from increased rainfall and stronger winds

I'm documenting the events to keep record

10. 5 areas declared disaster areas they have 24 million affected

Whoah

Myanmar authorities have declared five regions – Rangoon, Ayeyarwwady, Bago, Mon and Kayin – disaster areas. The population of the declared disaster areas is estimated at 24 million, with an estimated six million in Rangoon. More than 3,000 people are reportedly missing in Ayeyarwady Division alone.

5. I do weep

for Myanmar. As a Katrina survivor and having a close, personal friend make it through the the mess in Padang, Indonesia some years back, all of this brings tears to my eyes. People here in New Orleans are still living under highway overpasses...I cannot imagine the suffering there.

6. Here's a link to the 'US Campaign for Burma'.

They provide updates and information on the relief efforts
that are being hampered by the military in Burma.

Help/aid is coming in,
the problem is very little has been allowed into Burma.

7. Their government reminds us of our own in katrina

remember when we had all that water and they didn't get it in there and I saw the other day they dumped all of it

ya Bush government looks like the Burma one

8. Yep, they sure do.

That's one of the biggest problems right now
is GETTING the aid into the country.
