TODAY marks
the first year anniversary of Typhoon ‘Haiyan,’ known in the Philippines as
Typhoon Yolanda,” one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, which
devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines.
It was the
deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 6,300 people. ‘Haiyan’
was also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and unofficially the
strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed.
