Satellite Images of Myanmar Cyclone Damage

NASA provides satellite imagery of the cyclone-caused flooding in Myanmar following Cyclone Nargis. Cyclone Nargis swept through the Irrawaddy Delta of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and the country’s main city, Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon), and left tens of thousands dead and thousands more missing. The term cyclone is used in the Bay of Bengal (which Myanmar borders) to describe what many refer to as a hurricane.
