Burma

It's hard to imagine the death toll from any natural disaster being 100,000 people. The last time something like this happened was the tsunami back in Christmas 2004, and if I'm not mistaken, rebuilding is still going on.

I feel fortunate to live in a country where if a hurricane or major storm happens by, we have an organized (well, with the exception of hurricane Katrina) way of receiving help.

Here you can see a map of the flooding and how it has affected the area.
