Typhoon Haiyan, known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, was an exceptionally powerful tropical cyclone that devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, on November 7th and 8th. It is the deadliest Philippine  typhoon on record, killing at least 5,598 people in the Philippines  alone.  Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall.
