To go with 'Philipines-typhoon-climate-anniversary', FOCUS by Cecil MORELLA
This photo taken on October 13, 2023, shows a person walking past debris on waterfront plots where houses once stood before Super Typhoon Haiyan struck in 2013, in Tacloban city, Leyte province. The Philippines, which endures more than 20 major storms a year, has plenty of experience dealing with disasters. But that did not prepare them for one of the strongest typhoons on record. Haiyan unleashed winds of up to 315 kilometres (195 miles) an hour that flattened towns and cities across a 600-kilometre stretch of central islands.
