Super Typhoon Haiyan made landfall early Friday morning in Guiuan, a small city in Samar province in the eastern Philippines.

It reached the fragile island chain as the most powerful typhoon or hurricane in recorded history, says meteorologist Jeff Masters of Weather Underground

Haiyan had intensified and accelerated as it moved closer to the country with sustained winds of 195 mph and gusts of 235 mph, according to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

No Atlantic or eastern Pacific hurricane has ever been stronger than Haiyan (typhoons are the same type of storms as hurricanes).

About 10 million people live on the central Philippine islands and are most at risk from a direct strike from Haiyan.

The latest forecast track shows Haiyan passing near Tacloban, a city of about 250,000, and Cebu, a city of nearly 1 million, reports meteorologist Eric Holthaus of Quartz magazine.



its about to hit some of the poorest areas in the country

I just saw this on Nightly News, how do you even prepare for that? Bunkers? I am sure everyone can't afford them. I feel for all those people.

195 mph winds... it's crazy.
