Looking for more news about the native termed Typhoon Yolanda, I stumbled across a link that gets me excited as a geographer. Max Fisher at The Washington Post wrote this article:
8 maps that explain why Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines so hard.
The maps he gathered from sources such as
MapsoftheWorld.com, The News Republic, and the
Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources really help the average reader get an advanced understanding of the situation. Here is my favorite map of the link. It is good background knowledge, as there will be more posts to come about hazard mitigation of this event.
