Storm Observation: NASA Sat Captures Killer Cyclone Nargis

The first storm of the 2008 season in the Indian Ocean is a Category 3 or 4 killer event.

I hope that a mega hurricane does not make landfall in America in 2008. If it does happen, it will likely occur during the election frenzy, as the hurricane season runs into November. Such an occurrence would slam into the election dynamics, as only a major natural disaster can.
