Cyclone Hits Asian Province of Myanmar

Over the weekend, a cyclone devastated the Asian region of Myanmar, causing the deadliest storm in Asia since 1991. The storm has claimed the lives of reportedly 22,000 people and there are still 41,000 not accounted for, and nearly 1 million left homeless. The estimated death toll is to reach an overwhelming number of 1 million. The storm unleashed high winds, floods, and high tidal waves on a very densely populated area. I'm tellin you, we really need to be thankful for what we have. We all could be in countries like Iraq, where it's not safe to go anywhere, or these other countries that are plagued with the tremendous storms leaving them without food or shelter for God knows how long. Instead we whine and complain about high gas prices, high food costs, and a president who is the blame of it all! Go figure!
