Tropical Cyclone Sidr in Google Earth
A deadly tropical cyclone has struck Bangladesh killing over 500 people according to news reports. Tropical Storm Sidr was a category four storm with winds of 130+ knots when it struck on Thursday evening local time.
You can see a high resolution satellite photo 
in Google Earth showing Tropical Storm Sidr two days ago (before it made landfall). The photo came from the NASA MODIS Terra satellite.
You can also see the track of this storm from the live storm tracking tools like this one from Guiweather.com. Also, you can turn on the new Weather layer in Google Earth to see what's left of the storm's clouds.
