Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 3,500 as bad weather hampers rescue efforts

The death toll from the strong earthquake that struck Myanmar has risen to over 3-thousand-5-hundred.

According to the Associated Press, more than 5-thousand people were injured and at least 200 remain missing.

Heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend disrupted rescue efforts, temporarily halting the use of electrical equipment.
