Cyclone Hits Burma

Recently, a cyclone hit Burma. Also known as Myanmar. The cyclone has been one of the biggest disasters to ever hit Burma. It is a poor country so it is extremely difficult for them to rebuild and come back from this tragedy. Of course every country has problems coming back from a disaster such as this, but Burma will be having an extra hard time. Many of the people in Burma take signs or omens seriously and predicted this would happen. The government seemed to believe them somewhat because they had moved the capital, Naypyidaw in 2005. It was one place not hit by the cyclone. Keeping all of the people in high authority safe. It is a sad thing the cyclone hit, and it is also sad the government didn't help the people that much. They only helped themselves.
