The reports of the impact of
Typhoon Haiyan on the Philippines are startling, but not that surprising
when the scope of the storm
is described as
being hundreds of miles across carrying sustained winds of 147mph, gusts of 170
mph, and waves as high as 45ft. It seems almost impossible to imagine such
forces at work until you see the photos and see the devastation. Here's hoping
as much help can come to the victims of this as quickly as possible, as food and
water are immediate issues, and one can also only hope that the dire projections
of loss of life from this turn out to be overestimated.
