Super Typhoon Haiyan
Devastates the Philippines
Officials are now estimating that as many as 10,000 deaths may have been caused in the Philippines by the landfall of one of the most
powerful storms on record, Super Typhoon Haiyan. Wind gusts were measured up to 195 mph, and the storm's reach extended
over a thousand miles as it approached the Philippines last Friday. The extent of the devastation is still being assessed
by humanitarian groups, but all measures so far indicate a historic level of damage, requiring millions in aid and
years for recovery. [26 photos]
