Typhoon Haiyan is the biggest Typhoon to hit the world this year . It was the second deadliest Typhoon ever to hit the Philippines. It killed at least 2,350 people in the Philippines alone. It is classified as a category 5 super typhoon. The Typhoon hit the city on Friday morning but even before that forecasters warned that a big storm was coming. Talcoban was a busy city now it is a wasteland. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated to shelters that they thought would be safe but even these shelters were no match for the ferocious storm and many people died here. 380 km/h winds and a 16 foot high wall of ocean crushed the city. Many people were washed away by the floods or buried under heaps of rubble. Survivors are begging for aid as many are starving. Another concern is that the many dead bodies around the place could lead to widespread disease.
