I know of a church planter, Ps Stanley, who was in Myanmar when Nigris Cyclone swept the nation, and he only managed to fly back to KL yesterday once the roads were opened.
The Rangoon hotel he lived in was destroyed, badly, and all patrons had to be evacuated. Rangoon, being one of Myanmar's most developed city was devastatedly destroyed - electricity and water supply was cut off. Everyone lived in darkness broken heartedly. What's worst is that there isn't any clean water supply - which could lead to cholera outbreak.
Everyone was made homeless by the cyclone. The most saddening news is that many are still missing especially those who lives around Irrawardy River.
Continue to pray that the junta government will be open to international aids. What kills the nation is not just cyclone, but the various disease outbreaks (i.e. Cholera, Malaria) due to slow and limited relief effort.
Here's something for you to ponder. Cyclone and earthquake hit Myanmar and China, and prior to these, these 2 countries brutally attacked the monks. Pure coincidental? Go figure.
Here are some pictures of Rangoon taken by Ps Stanley.
