The first cyclone of the 2008 season in the northern Indian Ocean was a devastating one for Burma (Myanmar). Cyclone Nargis came ashore across the Mouths of the Irrawaddy and followed the coastline northeast. The entire coastal plain is flooded in the May 5 image. The fallow agricultural areas appear to have been especially hard hit.
