A few interesting tid bits from the article:

Yangon residents discovered news of a second cyclone on foreign broadcasts and on the Internet as it was not broadcast by Myanmar's
state-controlled media, AP reported
I didn't think I could lose any more respect for the government there, but this is very dispicable.

However, a tropical cyclone expert at City University of Hong Kong told AP that the new storm would probably not be as severe as Nargis because it
was already close to land -- and cyclones need to be over sea to gain full strength.
"There will be a lot of rain but the winds will not be as strong,"
Let's hope he is correct.
