Death toll now at an incomprehensible 135,000 and climbing.

From various reports there are entire areas that are inpenetrable by anything but air, and after flying over many of them, there is simply nothing left of the majority of them.
Predictions are that as many as 300,000 may be the final total. Simply staggering as well as unbelievable.

Wasn't the death toll from a Typhoon in Bangladesh about 135,000 about three years ago?
