Question Answer
Philippines Super Typhoon. By Susan Odhiambo.
Super Typhoon Haiyan is one of the strongest, most dangerous typhoons in recent history.
The typhoon made landfall in the Philippines on Friday, November 8, 2013. It hammered Leyte Island, with its provincial capital Tacloban city bearing the typhoon's brunt
The typhoon was headed toward Northern Vietnam and was expected to hit by Sunday evening.
On Sunday, the death toll in the Philippines was believed to be 2000 people dead in Tacloban city. A storm surge caused sea waters to rise 6 metres[20 feet] when the typhoon hit Friday.
In the typhoon's path were areas already struggling to recover from a deadly 7.3-magnitude earthquake last month, including the island of Bohol, where about 5,000 people are still living in tents.

One of the most intense typhoons on record whipped the Philippines on November 8, killing three people and terrifying millions as monster winds tore roofs off buildings and giant waves washed away flimsy homes.
