may be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land

Super Typhoon Haiyan sustained winds of 183 mph which put it well above the threshold for a category 5 hurricane.

I remember in Manila it was howling outside, there was little rain and the wind tore through the roofs. To think that we were 500km away from the center of that monster was unimaginable, 315 kph (195mph) 1 minute sustained winds and 7m (22ft) high storm surge.
Gustiness: 380kph (240mph)

Some people really need to research how tropical cyclones form. These religious nuts and conspiracy theorists are really hurting my brain....

Weakened far more quickly than I expected from being such a monster just before landfall.
Even Katrina maintained her eye through the state of Louisuana.
I guess the Philippines is less mountainous than the very flat southern United States

This was the worst and super typhoon Yolanda hitted Tacloban, Phils.Many people affected on this typhoon, lost of houses, properties, livelihood but what good thing was the country asked helped to other foreign country most esp the 1st world country.A lot of countries donated in $$$ currency and in charge of this assignment was Sec.Ping Lacson ( the main suspect of Bobby Dacer case, he runned away to the country)..Nasaan na ang donasyon ng ibang bansa???? Huh, donasyon nauwi sa korapsyon
