Super Typhoon Haiyan has made landfall. According to PAGASA, Haiyan came ashore at 4 am local time (20 UTC) November 7, 2013 near Guiuan, on the Philippine island of Samar. At the time, Guiuan reported sustained 10-minute average winds of 96 mph, with a pressure of 977 mb. Contact has since been lost with the city. Two hours before landfall, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center assessed Haiyan’s sustained winds at 195 mph, gusting to 235 mph, making it the 4th strongest tropical cyclone in world history. Satellite loops show that Haiyan weakened only slightly, if at all, in the two hours after JTWC’s advisory, so the super typhoon likely made landfall with winds near 195 mph. This makes Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in world history. The previous record was held by the Atlantic's Hurricane Camille of 1969, which made landfall in Mississippi with 190 mph winds.


Thoughts and prayers and such. Smiley: frown

I feel a little bad about it but all I'm thinking right now is how awesome nature is.

You kind of feel both. I read someone describe it earlier as like a EF4 Tornado with a diameter of 10 miles. It blows the mind, and some of the images are just eerie.

It looks rather like when the Boxing Day Tsunami went through SE Asia. I really hope not too many people died in the area. Smiley: frown time to go hit up some news sites for details.

SE Asia, right? Are those the "before" or "after" pictures?

Nature sucks. It needs to be subjugated and reigned in.

There's virtually nothing nature can do to hurt me short of a storm blowing over a tree or being struck by lightning. I on't see any need to try and control nature.

But you aren't the Government Aethien ;) Those assclowns try to control everything.

Oh yeah, hiya lolgaxe!

As far as nature goes, the government does quite an admirable job really. 60 years since the last major disaster and almost 19 years since the last seriously threatening situation.


Now, the railroad company on the other hand... leaves on the track? Delays. It's freezing? Delays. It's snowing? prepare alternative ways to get to where you need to be in case they fail completely.
And if there's none of that there's always some ***hole willing to jump in front of a train to make sure there are delays anyway.

Hello citizen!

If I controlled weather I'd totally be Thor. I don't think I have the legs to be Storm.

We got a sledgehammer that is affectionately named The Door Knocker. I voted mjolnir but apparently I'm the only one that could pronounce it.
