2. BURMA: On May 3, 120 mph winds and 12-foot-high storm surges from the sea and hit Burma. Government officials in Burma say 95% of houses have been destroyed in the city of Bogalay as a result of a tidal surge 3.5m high. In hard hit Laputta, hundreds of survivors crowded the floor of a monastery's open-air hall. The death toll jumped to more than 28,000 with another 33,416 missing — though some experts said it could be 15 times that if people do not get clean water and sanitation soon. 1.5 million cyclone survivors suffer from lack of food, water and shelter.

3. CHINA: SICHUAN PROVINCE: MAY 12, 2008: Without warning or mercy, a 7.9 monster earthquake struck a swath of death, destruction and devastation killing, injuring and affecting millions of helpless victims. It was the “EARTHQUAKE OF THE CENTURY” with devastation that has shocked the world community. Helpless and dying children were made orphans in mere seconds as parents perished in the crushing quake rubble. It is a heart wrenching scene of weeping, travail, despair and pain. The emotional damage is horrendous and cannot be measured in mere numbers or just words.
