Super Typhoon Haiyan locally known as Yolanda hit the Philippines on November 8th as a category five storm with maximum sustained wind of 235 kilometers an hour as well as wind gusts at 275 Km/hr - One of the most powerful ever recorded anywhere in the world!
9.8 million people affected, 659, 268 displaced, 10+ thousand people feared dead. First land fall in the early morning of 8 November in Guiuan Eastern summer Province.

Tacloban city has no food, water and no electricity.
Marilyn Cada, a Philippine blogger told me that places like Visayas were also strongly affected.
It was reported that Typhoon Haiyan is three and a half times more powerful than Hurricane Katrina.
