Typhoon Haiyan In the Philippines
Last weekend in the Philippines there was one of the worst
tropical storms of all time. Typhoon Haiyan, as they call it, hit 500
miles-wide of the Philippines and had winds up to 186 miles, making
up to 140 miles an hour, and that’s worse than Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy were once two of the largest
tropical storms ever, but Typhoon Haiyan is making them look like
mild rainstorms.
This chart shows how bad the hurricanes were, 5 being less
dangerous and 1 being very dangerous.

Want some advice?
By Madison Kackley
Mariah Ambrose: What do you do when your best friend is sad?
Maddie: Make he or she feels a little better about themselves. Maybe
tell he or she that their hair looks nice, or that you like their shoes. If
you don’t want to do that, you can maybe try talking to them about
their problem and help find a solution to it. See you next time on,
“Want
Some Advice?”
Jenna Villanueva: What do you do when you don’t like something that
your friend made?
Maddie: Honesty is always the best policy. Tell he or she that you
didn’t want to hurt their feelings, and lie.
