Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, crashed across the central islands of the Philippines Friday, killing at least four people, and forcing a million people to flee from their homes. Many areas lost power, and hundreds of flights were cancelled.
As of late Friday in the Philippines, Haiyan's winds had weakened to 165 mph and it was moving away from the country into the South China Sea.
Haiyan, known as Yolanda in the typhoon-prone Philippines, packed winds of over 200 miles per hour, and affected a huge sweep of the country. At least two people were electrocuted in storm-related accidents, one person was killed by a fallen tree and another was struck by lightning, official reports said.
Hoping for the best for my dear friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
