The most powerful storm ever to make landfall.
Category-five super typhoon Haiyan is ravaging the Philippines with winds approaching 200 mph early Friday, causing mudslides, flash flooding and storm surge waves up to 30 feet.
Millions of people in the country have fled to search for safety. Winds this bad can blow apart storm-proof shelters due to the pressure they create.
“It is the most powerful storm ever to make landfall,” Weather Channel lead meteorologist Michael Palmer told NBC News. “It is as strong a typhoon as you can get, basically.”
The storm slammed the islands of Leyte, Samar and the northern part of Cebu Province early Friday. Forecasters said the system will eventually move on to Vietnam and Laos.

And I am praying that my son, who is somewhere around Bali, is not affected.
