Aerial Photos Of Typhoon Haiyan’s (Yolanda) Devastation
Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) made landfall in the eastern Philippines early Friday morning.
With very strong winds up to 380-kph (235-mph) in Leyte province, and storm surge up to 5-meter-tall (16-foot-high), it was feared that at least 10,000 were killed in the city of Tacloban.
Looking at the aerial photos of the devastation caused by the typhoon, it looks as if the island was hit by a great tsunami rather than a typhoon.
