| 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. | |
