Typhoon Haiyan was the name of a particular typhoon that struck the Philippines in November 2013. It was one of the strongest and deadliest typhoons on record and the strongest land falling typhoon ever recorded. It struck the Philippines at peak intensity with sustained winds of 195 miles per hour. The city of Tacloban was particularly devastated. Haiyan then weakened and struck southern China several days later. In all, Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,300 people.
Typhoon Haiyan was a major typhoon that impacted parts of Southeast Asia in November 2013. The worst impact was in the Philippines where the storm killed over 5,000 people. Haiyan, known as Yolanda in the Philippines, made landfall at peak intensity with sustained winds of 195 mph, the strongest 1-minute sustained winds ever recorded in a tropical cyclone.
Typhoon Haiyan was the post powerful landfalling typhoon on record with sustained winds of 195 mph. The wind drove a massive storm surge onto land. The combined extreme wind and raging floods were too much for most buildings to withstand.
A typhoon is a cyclone over the water. They are categorized by a tropical cyclone scale. Usually the categories range from tropical depression, tropical storm, category one (being the lowest) to category five.

The amount of damage done by a typhoon or cyclone depends on many factors, not the least of which is the storm's path. In populated areas, especially in underdeveloped regions, casualties from flooding can become very high. Out of the approximately 1800 deaths during the 2011 typhoon season in the Pacific, nearly 1300 resulted from a weaker but rainier storm, Severe Tropical Storm Washi, that never reached typhoon status. Its floods destroyed more than 9000 homes in the Philippines. By contrast, the 8 typhoons of the season combined for only about 211 total deaths.
At the time it struck the Philippines, Typhoon Haiyan had sustained winds of 195 mph (315 kmh/h) with gusts to 235 mph (378 km/h). It was moving forward at 25 mph (40 km/h).
