Typhoon Haiyan Most Powerful Storm To Ever Make Landfall

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Meterologists say Super Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines with sustained winds of 195 miles per hour, making it the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history.

The storm has forced millions to seek shelter in 20 provinces and authorities have been able to confirm three deaths already from the storm. Two were electrocuted in storm related incidents and a third was struck by lightning.

The storm is threatening to cause massive causalities and damage in Cebu, the country’s second largest city. Power and communications throughout the country have been taken out hampering the efforts of rescue teams.

Witnesses are saying the storm has been blowing large pieces of iron sheeting through the streets like they were kites and other debris is slamming into buildings like they were missiles.

Surigao City, which was not in the path of the storm’s center, reported that despite being sideswiped by the storm there was massive damage to homes and buildings. A pastor in the town told the BBC that most homes had their roofs blown off.

The storm is now moving into the South China Sea.
