A resident walks by remains of houses after powerful Typhoon Haiyan slammed into Tacloban city, Leyte province central Philippines on
Saturday. Rescuers in the central Philippines counted hundreds dead and many more injured Saturday, a day after one of the most powerful
typhoons on record ripped through the region, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes.
Overwhelming devastation
Philippine typhoon death toll could reach 10,000

TACLOBAN, Philippines –
The death toll from one of the
strongest storms on record
that ravaged the central
Philippine city of Tacloban
could reach 10,000 people,
officials said early Sunday
after the extent of massive
devastation became apparent
and horrified survivors spoke
of storm surges as high as
trees and winds sounding like
the roar of a jumbo jet.
Regional police chief Elmer
Soria said he was briefed by
Leyte provincial Gov. Dominic
Petilla late Saturday and told
there were about 10,000
deaths in the province, mostly
by drowning and from
collapsed buildings. The
governor’s figure was based on
reports from village officials
in areas where Typhoon
Haiyan slammed Friday.
Tacloban city
administrator Tecson Lim said
that the death toll in the city
alone “could go up to 10,000.”
Tacloban is the Leyte
provincial capital of 200,000
people and the biggest city on
Leyte Island.
About 300-400 bodies
have already been recovered
and “still a lot under the
debris,” Lim said. A mass
burial was planned Sunday in
Palo town near Tacloban.
The typhoon barreled
through six central Philippine
islands on Friday, wiping away
buildings and leveling seaside
homes with ferocious winds
of 1 47 miles per hour and
gusts of 170 mph. By those
measurements, Haiyan would
be comparable to a strong
Category 4 hurricane in the
U.S., and nearly in the top
category, a 5.
It weakened Sunday to 101
mph with stronger gusts as it
approached central and
northern Vietnam where
authorities evacuated more
than 500,000 people. It was
forecast to make landfall
Monday morning.
“The rescue operation is
ongoing. We expect a very
high number of fatalities as
well as injured,” Interior
Secretary Mar Roxas said after
visiting Tacloban on Saturday.
“All systems, all vestiges of
modern living –
communications, power,
water – all are down. Media is
down, so there is no way to
communicate with the people
in a mass sort of way.”
Leo Dacaynos of Samar
province's disaster office said
Sunday that 300 people have
been confirmed dead in Basey
town and another 2,000 are
missing.
There are still other towns
on Samar that have not been
reached.
