Newstovote - Haiyan devastating cyclone that devastated the central part of the Philippines is estimated to constitute one of the strongest typhoon observers monitored. Haiyan predicted rampage killing at least 10,000 Filipinos and resulted in over 600,000 people homeless.
Awesomeness is drawn from the impact of hurricanes and residential building that collapsed, a large number of fallen trees. Reported by NPR, Tuesday, November 12, 2013, he entered Leyte Gulf in the Philippines, the storm created a 13 foot storm surge that resulted in damage to inland bays in the City of Tacloban. Not only the shoreline area alone, hurricanes also hit the mountainous region.
"This year Pacific region is ripe for a major hurricane. Could be once a year or twice a category 5 cyclone appeared there," said Kerry Emanuel, a climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
Typhoon Haiyan categorized as the biggest storms, category 4 and 5. Emanuel added in the case of Haiyan storm, the storm had reached the peak when then struck the mainland.
However, despite Haiyan storm could be the biggest storm, the scientists can not describe how much detail hurricane strength when raging. Because they do not have direct measurements of wind speed at the time.
In the U.S, typically scientists hurricane fly with the U.S. Navy approached the storm to measure wind speed and air pressure. Unfortunately already decades ago, this stagnates due to budget cuts Uncle Sam's government.
"Since then, most of us rely on satellites to predict hurricane intensity," he said. Satellite facility was thought enough to help detect the presence of the cyclone but of course the satellite could not measure the strength of the storm.
Haiyan about hurricane force, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center scientist in the U.S. Air Force Typhoon Haiyan estimated sustainable yield in the range of wind speeds 190 or 195 mph (313.8 km per hour). Even climatologists state of Texas, John Nielsen-Gammon, said Haiyan can penetrate up to 230 mph (370.1 km per hour), or as fast as a race car.
"Imagine not just one car, imagine rain and debris moving with the same speed past you and you try to stand in the middle," said Nielsen.
Based on the record, the strongest storm or hurricane comes from Camille, which struck the U.S. Gulf Coast in 1969 ago. This storm speed is only 190 mph only.
"Camille is a very small storm, possibly a fifth Haiyan. Hurricane Camille devastated many places but it is limited," he said.
