Deadly Cyclone Kills More Than 350 in Myanmar

The death toll is at least 350 following a deadly cyclone that hit Myanmar late Friday into Saturday.

Reports say the cyclone, Nargis, dismantled power in the capital and destroyed thousands of homes, in one of the world's more impoverished countries.

A state of emergency was declared in five regions - the city of Yangon, Irrawaddy, Pegu and the states of Karen and Mon.
