[edit] Nargis article

An article for Nargis is in planning, for anyone interested. Tomorrow, once some impact reports come out, I will publish it. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how accurate it is, but a news story from BBC mentions a TV report in Burma that pegs a current death toll from the storm at 243 direct. The same report mentions a retired government worker drawing comparisons between Nargis and Katrina.[1] Heaven lord, even without the convoluted details, this is already shaping up to be a bad disaster.

Here is link to initial report claiming similar number of death toll from the storm. [2]--Ugaap (talk) 12:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
