More Videos On Typhoon Haiyan's Power

More videos are emerging out of the Philippines that show the power of Super-Typhoon Haiyan.

Haiyan's extreme wind and rain in the
Philippines.  

One of the most striking things about the storm was the sudden onset of extreme conditions as the Haiyan's central eyewall moved over a particular area.

(The eyewall, immediately surrounding the center of the storm, or eye) is the most intense part of a typhoon or hurricane)

Conditions were bad before the eyewall moved over a particular area. But when the eyewall began to move in, winds suddenly became catastrophic as opposed to gradually increasing, and the storm surge abruptly crashed ashore instead of building over a matter of a couple hours as they usually do.

That's a reflection of how intense the storm was. The bigger the contrast between the low pressure of the center of any storm and the pressure zone outside the storm the worse the winds and rain.

Haiyan was extremely strong among the strongest on record. And it was the strongest typhoon to ever hit land.

Here are the dramatic, scary videos:



This one shows the dramatic onset of the storm surge. Much like a tsunami.
