Living in Florida, I am keenly interested in hurricanes. I have written before about technology which is going into tracking those monsters. So I was curious how much advance notice the Myanmar government had before the catastrophic Nargis hit.
This New Scientist map shows 5 days. The Indian Metrological Department appears to have given their Burmese (Burma was previous name for Myanmar) peers several warnings of the storm's track.
What a shame if the government was as uncaring in preparing its citizens as it now appears to be after the strike.
