“The super typhoon that slammed the Philippines Friday, flooding villages and killing at least 4 people, may be the most powerful to ever hit land. Haiyan– a category 5 typhoon– forced more than 750,000 from their homes as it lashed the central islands of Leyte and Samar with 170 mph wind gusts and 15-19-foot waves. That makes it the world’s strongest typhoon this year, said Aldczar Aurelio of the government’s weather bureau.”
