im no expert, but im thinking theres probably a lot of rice on the menu there. are we not counting the damage or loss of farmable land as destruction?

I had read where Myanmar was an exporter of rice (to India and somewhere else). I imagine what is now left will stay home. Amazing and terrible the amount of land (and lives) that is gone looking at that earlier satellite photo.

the article is about how the flood managed to kill 100,000 or more people the other day. i don’t see how the saltiness of the water would’ve been a factor in that.

u dig?
