Incredible Footage Captures Typhoon Haiyan [VIDEO]

With a maximum sustained wind speed estimated at 315kph, Typhoon Haiyan was probably the strongest tropical typhoon to make landfall in recorded history, meteorologists say.

Now that’s it calmed somewhat, we’ve managed to find some footage of the moment that Typhoon Haiyan crashed into the Philippines. It swept through the island nation, leaving sheer destruction in its wake. The UN confirms that at least 1,200 are people dead and 618,175 people displaced.

There are also these before/after photos, which give you a pretty good idea of what Haiyan did.
