May 2, Cyclone Nargis slammed into Myanmar, for more than 10 hours. Winds of up to 150 miles per hour ripped through the Irrawaddy delta, reducing bamboo houses to rubble. Most deaths were likely due to the massive tidal wave, estimated at up to 12 feet high. People had no where to flee. As many as 10,000 people died in one coastal town alone.
