Myanmar cyclone

Myanmar cyclone death toll soars past 22,000: state radio - Yahoo! News

Hi,
does anyone come from Myanmar?

I'm from Indonesia.
My country got a devastating tsunami in 2004 and more than 100.000 people died. As I know how awful it is, especially if you're here in the US hearing all news from families there, I want to offer my deepest sympathies and condolences for all of the victims and their families.

God bless you all.
take care x]

This is a horrible and tragic disaster. My heart goes out to all of those poor people who have lost their family, freinds, jobs, and homes. I pray to Brahmha that they will be able to return to their past lives soon. If anyone has a suggestion(s) on how we can help them then lets get it started as soon as possible.



you are absolutley right 'YOU'!!!!!!

I read that the official figure undercounts the death toll. The unofficial tally is something like 100k. Whoa.
