Giant storm in the Philippines

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 08 November 2013 | 05.49

 Super typhoon in the Hayan - one of the strongest typhoon in the world, perhaps even the strongest hurricane ever, subjugate Piliphinan and endanger millions of lives.

 4 people were reportedly killed and more than 100,000 victims sheltering in evacuation centers and hundreds of flights are canceled, not only that, this disaster also destroyed much of the city in the Philippines.

With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Haiyan was probably the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in the world in recorded history. It will take further analysis after the storm passes to establish whether it is a record. 

Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Yolanda, appeared to retain much of its terrifying force as it moved west over the country, with sustained winds of 295 kph (185 mph), gusts as strong as 360 kph (225 mph). Haiyan's wind strength makes it equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane

Haiyan was so large in diameter that at one point, its clouds were affecting two-thirds of the country, which stretches more than 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles).

President Benigno S. Aquino said, that this is a huge disaster, and we have to do is prepare to face this giant disaster.

Some of the most vulnerable people are those living in temporary shelters on the central Philippine island of Bohol, which experienced heavy wind and rain Friday but was spared a direct hit by Haiyan.

Another island near the storm's path is the popular beach resort of Boracay. Some tourists there were cutting their vacations short Thursday to get away from the possible danger.

Ross Evans, an aviation professional from Florida, said there was "a definite urgency and panic" among the long lines of holidaymakers waiting for boats to get off Boracay on Thursday.
