Strongest typhoon of the year hits Philippines
The strongest typhoon this year slammed into the central Philippines on Friday, setting off landslides and knocking out power and communication lines in several provinces. At least four people died.
Huge, fast-paced Typhoon Haiyan raced across a string of islands from east to west -- Samar, Leyte, Cebu and Panay-- and lashed beach communities with over 125 mile per hour winds. Nearly 720,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes.
