Typhoon Haiyan hits the Philippines in this weather satellite image, courtesy of the Japan Meteorological Agency, taken at 0200 UTC November 8, 2013. Haiyan, potentially the strongest recorded typhoon to make landfall, slammed into the Philippines' central islands on Friday, forcing millions of people to flee to safer ground or take refuge in storm shelters. The category-five super typhoon whipped up giant waves as high as 4-5 metres (12-15 feet) that lashed the islands of Leyte and Samar, and was on track to carve a path through popular holiday   destinations.
