The track of cyclone Nargis striking Myanmar is seen in this computer enhanced satellite image compiled by NASA’s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM ) between April 27 and May 4 and released May 6, 2008. The image is enhanced with multi-satellite precipitation analysis (MPA) readings of precipitation over the area. Myanmar's military government raised its death toll from Cyclone Nargis on Tuesday to nearly 22,500 with a further 41,000 missing, nearly all of them from a massive storm surge that swept into the Irrawaddy delta.
