Weather officials said Yolanda had sustained winds of 235 kilometers per hour with gusts of 275 kph when. By those measurements, Yolanda would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the US, nearly in the top category, a 5.
A day after Super typhoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan) whipped across the central Philippines with maximum sustained winds of around 315 kilometers an hour, a picture emerged of entire communities having been flattened.
Authorities said that, aside from the ferocious winds, storm surges of up to 10 feet high that swept into coastal towns and deep inland were responsible for destroying countless homes.
