Super Typhoon HAIYAN, Probably the Strongest Storm in Modern Era, Strikes the Philippines
FIRE-EARTH Models show storm surges of up to 20 meters high, generated by the Super Typhoon, striking coastal areas in the Bicol Peninsula.
Super Typhoon HAIYAN made landfall over Guiuan (population: 50,000) in Eastern Samar Province at 04:40 local time, and is forecast to remain a Cat 5 storm force as it rakes across the country.
Powerful winds and torrential rains brought by the Super Typhoon could trigger flash flooding and landslides causing large-scale fatalities and catastrophic damage along the typhoon’s path. See also links below for FEWW’s earlier forecasts.
Up to 1.9 million people have been evacuated in hundreds of villages, towns and cities.
In Calabarzon region, which include the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, disaster officials are monitoring 84 towns prone to landslides and flooding, said a local report.
In Albay province, about 700,000 people living in coastal villages in 14 towns and three cities were evacuated.
Up to a million people have been evacuated in the Bicol Region.

Previous Typhoons Toll
Since 2011, several typhoons including WASHI, BOPHA and KROSA have affected millions of people in the Philippines, flattening coastal towns, killing more than 3,000 people, destroying crops, razing tens of thousands of homes, and causing up to $2billion worth of damage to public infrastructure.
Details of the most destructive typhoons to strike the Philippines can be found on this blog.
