On November 8, 2013, Typhoon "Yolanda" also known as "Haiyan" hit the Philippines. The so called "super typhoon" has caused widespread panic among Filipinos, as meteorologists have dubbed the typhoon as the worst typhoon of the year with wind speeds up to 250 kph as it approached the Philippines coming from the Pacific ocean. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions have evacuated areas that were predicted to be hit hard by Yolanda. However, many Filipinos have chosen to stay at their homes, and have suffered. The video shown by BBC, has struck me because it has shown the personal struggles of each Filipino family affected by the typhoon in which 10,000 casualties were predicted.
