BONDing2Gether for Haiyan/Yolanda Relief
Experts say Typhoon Haiyan was about as strong as it could theoretically get when it swept through the Philippines, killing thousands of people and driving hundreds of thousands from their homes. But intensity limits have been rising over decades past and climate models suggest they will keep rising over the decades to come, with the potential for bigger and more devastating storms.
"The tragedy of this particular storm is that it reached its limit just about the time it made landfall," Kerry Emanuel, a climate scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told NBC News.
Based on satellite imagery, the U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimated that Haiyan's winds reached a sustained peak as high as 195 mph shortly before it made landfall, with gusts rising to 235 mph.
Utter devastation....
Please join us in a fundraiser to raise funds for our stricken Kababayans (countrymen). Mano-a-Mano International Relief Organization holds missions to the Philippines every year. The Visayas Mission will be their second this year to aid in the relief efforts through medical assistance and supplies.
