TOW #9

http://news.yahoo.com/typhoon-deaths-climb-thousands-philippines-200523335.html

Typhoon Haiyan struck the eastern seaboard of the Philippines on Friday and left behind destruction and devastation in all affected areas. Houses were swept away, flattened, or simply destroyed by the force of the storm. In Tacloban, a ship was even pushed ashore and now lies amongst the wreckage and debris from ruined houses. The death toll from this typhoon sits somewhere around 10,000 at the moment, with more people missing and even more needing critical supplies like food and water. At the moment, typhoon Haiyan is one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, which explains why the cost was so great. Now, the Philippines looks to the rest of the world for support as they try to rebuild their community. This was posted on Yahoo news through the Associated Press, so it appears to be a credible article, especially because of the fact that multiple other sites and channels on TV have been reporting on the same story.
