May 8, 2008—The cyclone that lashed southern Myanmar (Burma) on May 2 and 3 left massive floodwaters that devastated the region, as seen in a May 5, 2008, image (bottom) by NASA's Terra satellite.
On April 15, 2008 (top photo), the same region was photographed with rivers and streams against a backdrop of green vegetation and tan agricultural land.
The wetlands near the mouth of the Irrawaddy River, shown in deep blue-green, are where Cyclone Nargis first made landfall.
