Reply #3: oh my God, I hadn't heard that! It was a Category 4 cyclone [View All]

it was bad enough when they said 10,000. Last night, I saw some footage on CNN and other newsies, of the damage to several cities. It looked like most buildings had no roofs, most trees (except for palm trees - they always seem to survive anything) were down and all streets were flooded.

Prayers to those affected by this cyclone and we should expect to see more of these deadly cyclones with global climate change heating up the oceans.

Warmer sea temps = stronger cyclones, hurricanes, more tornadic activity, etc.

Wikipedia has a page on this cyclone now. Some before, after pics too.
