Typhoon Haiyan Kills 100 in Philippines and Heads Towards Vietnam

The world's strongest storm of the year 2013, smashed into central Philippines on Friday killing more than 100 people and displacing millions . 

As the most intense Typhoon Haiyan wreaks havoc, people from the vulnerable regions in Philippines are relocated to safer regions.

As a result of the category 5 storm that sent waves as high as 5m, communications were disrupted, powerlines were cit and the streets were left deserted with knee deep water.

According to Guardian , Typhoon Haiyan hit the country with wind speeds at landfall reaching195 mph and wind gusts of 235 mph.  Haiyan is claimed to be the powerful and strongest typhoon. It broke the record of Hurricane Camille that battered Mississippi with winds of 190 mph in 1969. Due to the large diameter of Haiyan the clouds from it are affecting two-thirds of the country that is stretched across more than 1,850 kilometres (1,150 miles). 

The monster storm dubbed as Yolanda in Phillippines has destroyed buildings and ripped iron roofs off the houses. The landslides that occurred blocked the roads making communication difficult and hence officials cannot determine clearly the number of causalities occurred.

There aren't too many buildings constructed that can withstand that kind of wind," meteorology expert Jeff Masters told the Associated Press of Haiyan's 195mph landfall. "The wind damage should be the most extreme in Philippines history."

As Vietnam is the next victim; with the landfall expected early Sunday morning. The state media said that the central provinces have started evacuating more than 300,000 people from high risk areas.
