Please note that the unpopular bully the US is standing by to airdrop supplies and push teams and tons of tons of food into the region, while the Cadre that supports the inert Junta of Myanmar is silent and indifferent. Brave Cadre. The Cadre demonstrates what moral vacuums look like. And is there a puzzle about what the Cadre is doing in Tibet, in East Turkistan, in Bejing. Without principal, the Cadre is a failure moment to moment.

Cyclone's rainfall tracked
Full coverage
Cyclone Nargis swept into Burma on Saturday 3 May 2008, killing thousands and causing widespread damage.
Nasa satellite images below vividly demonstrate the scale of the impact. The top image was taken before the cyclone hit, with land and water features sharply defined. The lower image shows the aftermath on 5 May, with much of the Irrawaddy river delta region clearly flooded.
Use the tick box above the top image to see the path of the cyclone overlaid on the images. Yangon is another name for the capital of Burma, Rangoon.
The PDF document on the right is a UN map showing the flooded areas in more detail with extra information including the main population centres affected.
