On the first day , the disaster management center that gave the figures of the dead , said only five died while 12 bodies were washed ashore , and that only 31 were missing when the figure stood at 43.
It is worthy of note that the warning of this cyclone that hit Sri Lanka on the 7th night was announced by America on the 4th , that is 2 days ahead. Our own observatory however could not forecast this impending disaster. It is therefore better that our Observatory is closed down before it jeopardizes the lives of more people following natural disasters owing to its negligence and inefficiency, and we depend on foreign observatories like how the SL government is depending on foreign Companies to revive its moth eaten image paying them colossal sums of monies.
