This afternoon, news reports say that Myanmar is denying all aid from entering into their country.

The people of Myanmar are in my prayers. I just pray the doors will be opened and the aid can come in and help those that need it the most.

Irrawaddy Delta was home for over six million people. The military junta was warned two days before impact about the possible impact of the cyclone and they ignored it. Almost no warning was issued for the villages, town and cities in the delta.

This Cyclone is the highest death toll for a wind storm that I've ever heard of.

Unless actual aid workers come in to assess it I'm reluctant to believe it to be accurate.

I don't understand how it is possible to loose so many people dead to winds.
