I heard that relief organizations suspect that the junta stated death toll in Myanmar of 38,000, is actually more likely in excess of 200,000. This is turning out to be a historic year for deaths resulting from natural disasters.Dewdrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507315890846359262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-73000367170951729972008-05-15T08:05:00.000-04:002008-05-15T08:05:00.000-04:00It's really hard to imagine what would be the live...It's really hard to imagine what would be the lives of the people over there in Burma. :( They don't have enough shelter and foods and here is another storm for them... <BR/><BR/>Isn't it odd that all these things happen in just a few weeks between each other? Killer tornadoes last mother's day, Cyclone in Myanmar, Chaiten Volcano explodes in Chile, 7.9 magnitude Earthquake in China, Wildfire in Florida...<BR/><BR/>What's next? :( I hope things would get better...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-29173984665596730032008-05-14T13:42:00.000-04:002008-05-14T13:42:00.000-04:00Whew!

Th...It appears as though the threat was not legit. The Low Pressure area has pretty much been broken apart. <BR/><BR/>1. REMARKS:<BR/>THIS CANCELS REF A. THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR <BR/>16.7N 95.7E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 18.0N 94.4E, APPROXIMATELY 125 NM<BR/>NORTHWEST OF YANGON, MYANMAR. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED AND VISIBLE<BR/>SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING OF THE LOW LEVEL<BR/>CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH ISOLATED AND DISORGANIZED CONVECTION<BR/>FLARING DUE TO OROGRAPHIC LIFT. THE 141320Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE<BR/>DEPICTS WEAK CONVECTIVE BANDING AND A POORLY DEFINED LLCC. RECENT <BR/>SURFACE OBSERVATIONS WITHIN 60 NM OF THE CENTER INDICATED SLP<BR/>OF 1002 MB AND LIGHT SURFACE WINDS. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY<BR/>TRACKING SLOWLY NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE COAST AND IS FORE-<BR/>CAST TO CONTINUE INTERACTING WITH THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN RANGE,<BR/>WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO HINDER FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM<BR/>SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM<BR/>SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. DUE TO THE<BR/>WEAKENED LLCC AND LAND INTERACTION, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE<BR/>DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24<BR/>HOURS IS DOWNGRADED TO POOR.//<BR/>NNNNStorm Chasing Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423054435529044197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-44941114741937074512008-05-14T11:14:00.000-04:002008-05-14T11:14:00.000-04:00I was just blogging about that when the comment ca...I was just blogging about that when the comment came in.
