If you know anyone in the Phillipines they are in major risk of one of the biggest storms in history. Read more from USA Today-- The whole story is pretty interesting --
Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, crashed across the central islands of the Philippines Friday, killing at least three people, and forcing a million people to flee from their homes. Many areas lost power, and hundreds of flights were cancelled.
Haiyan, known as Yolanda in the typhoon-prone Philippines, packed winds of over 200 miles per hour, and affected a huge sweep of the country. Three people were killed and seven injured, national disaster agency spokesman Rey Balido told a news briefing in the capital Manila, reported Reuters. The death toll could rise as some of the worst affected areas remain cut off without power and communication. Earlier official reports said one person was killed by a fallen tree and another was struck by lightning.
Super Typhoon Haiyan, a category-5 storm, made landfall Friday morning at Guiuan, a small city in Samar province in the eastern Philippines. The U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center said maximum sustained winds were 195 mph, with gusts to 235 mph. Over 12 million people live in the storm's path, including Cebu City, with a population of about 2.5 million, and Bohol island, where a major earthquake last month killed over 200 people and left thousands homeless and highly vulnerable in tents. The typhoon was expected to skirt central Manila and fully exit the Philippines by Saturday morning local time, en route for the South China Sea, Vietnam and China.
President Benigno Aquino said Thursday his administration had made war-like preparations, with air force planes, helicopters and navy ships on standby. Over one million people fled their homes ahead of the storm as the government announced evacuation plans in many areas. With at least 20 typhoons hitting the Philippines every year, its people are familiar with nature's power, but none have experienced what some meteorologists have called the most powerful typhoon ever to make landfall.
As we pray send help!
