Super-Typhoon HaiYan- 370 kp/h ***230 mp/h*** winds!!! Phillipines LOOK OUT

Super typhoon Haiyan aims at Philippines; 'significant loss of life' predicted


Thousands of villagers fled as the most powerful storm on the planet this year approached the Philippines on Thursday.
Super typhoon Haiyan had wind speeds of up to 170 mph and was rated as a category-five storm early Thursday, according to Weather Channel lead meteorologist Michael Palmer.
He warned that the storm was likely to cause widespread devastation and "a significant loss of life."
“It’s a very poor country and there is not really any place for these people to go because they are on an island," Palmer added. “There was a similar typhoon that struck in 1990 which killed 700 people so you are going to see that here, maybe even worse.”

gosh I hope they are ok. water really scares me!

Wow, this one could be a record breaker. I hope everyone battens down the hatches there in Manila, it's going to be a wild one. Thanks OP :-)

Sending my prayers to the people of the Philippines, may God give you strength! Hoping as little damage will be done and as few lives will be lost as possible.

CNN just called this an "un survivable storm" for parts of the Philippines

Low pressure in #Haiyan is probably sub-890 mb -- but downstream in 3-4 days, a 1053 mb high develops over NPAC [link to twitter.com (secure)]

Cloud tops warming a bit in the southern eyewall as per the latest satellite imagery... it may lower to a moderate strength category 5 before it hits.

That almost seems like the best-case scenario for the Philippines now... which is still absolutely terrifying.

Lights went out for 5 seconds then came back on. Wish the sun would hurry up, i need some daylight, getting nasty out there.

Super Typhoon is Heading for Philippines and it will be Catastrophic and it will cause ton of Damage.

Either just dramatic fear mongering or really sad. I'm not big into feeling sad emotions for others miss fortunes. But still I'm human.

The world as a whole could use a few months of no major quakes, flooding, new battles and no violent political up risings. And for the USA, no more "strange", TPTB agenda driven mass shootings. Or regular mass shootings.

Any live feeds? I thought it was only a myth that technology in the US was supreme.

OK then...where's the live feed?

Quit the fucking hypocritical religious talk ffs! The people in that area are about as religious as one can be, and yet they get a heavy earthquake + this son of a bitch in a week timespan

Why wont the Christians fight back against the typhoon-causing Muslims?

Have you been to the Philippines, in particular the southern part? Based on what you just posted, my guess is no. Please do not post about things you know nothing about.

Are the phillipines still there or NO?
