Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)

Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, was a powerful storm that struck the Philippines in November 2013. It was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, causing catastrophic destruction across several islands. Its powerful winds, heavy rains, and storm surges led to widespread flooding, damage to homes, infrastructure, and severe loss of life. The storm highlighted the importance of disaster preparedness and resilience. International aid and recovery efforts were mobilized to assist affected communities, and Haiyan remains a significant example of the severe impact that intense weather systems can have on vulnerable populations.
