The mega typhoon Haiyan hit two

main provinces in the Philippines,

Leyte, and Samar. It was the

perfect storm in terms of its sheer

size, its circular symmetry and the

tightness of the storms eye. When

Haiyan hit the shore in the

Philippines, the ferocity of it set

records. Winds were 250km/h with

gusts over 300kph. With that

much force it is like standing

behind a revving engine of a

jumbo jet. A 5 metre storm surge,

created from an intense low and

the storms centre sucking at the

sea that caused most damage.

The super typhoon Haiyan hit

the Philippines at 4am (local

time), with winds near 195mph, making it the strongest tropical cyclone ever

to make landfall in recorded

world history, according to the

satellite estimates. The storm

has officially peaked the Dvorak scale, which is used to

measure strong strength storms using satellites and

was measured at a scale of

8.1 on an 8.0 scale.

Typhoon Haiyan swept away

the port-city of Tacloban in the

blink of an eye. The damage is

widespread across six Philippine islands with information trickling from

remote islands. More than 11

million Filipinos have been

affected, many being displaced

or left homeless from the

tsunami. From those 11 million,

5200 people died, more than

23,000 had been injured, and

1611 were still missing across

the islands.
