What parts of the Philippines are affected by the 2013 typhoon?
The typhoon, officially named Haiyan, but unofficially nicknamed Yolanda in the Philippines, was upgraded recently to a "super typhoon". Meaning it has the same power as a category 5 hurricane. It is the fourth category 5 storm on this planet in this year alone. The typhoon is heading directly for central Philippines. However it is very difficult to predict the exact path, because the wind direction can change at any time. Cebu has been placed on high alert. All schools and government buildings have been shut down. People are panic-buying, causing many stores to shut down too due to completely running out of stock. The typhoon is predicted to hit land around the Samar-Leyte area on the 8th November 2013, around 10am local time. The US and British navy which is tracking the typhoon have predicted that the eye of the storm will be over Visayas at 2pm, November 8th (local time). Daanbantayan is in the far north of Cebu, they should not be affected too badly by the typhoon, but some damage will still likely be caused by the high winds as it passes.

The #1 storm, a typhoon that hit Vietnam in 1881, may have caused 300,000 fatalities, making it the deadliest typhoon in history. "Dishonorable" mentions go to 1997's Tropical Storm Linda, with 1300 fatalities in Vietnam, and 1991's Tropical Storm Thelma, which killed 5,000-8,000 in the Philippines. In these cases, the storms were weaker, but the rains were torrential.
