Typhoon Haiyan's 150 mph winds drove huge waves ashore, crashing into villages and towns,flattening building and taking families apart. Many families are looking for food, some are even looking through garbage piles to find something to eat. Water supplies were contaminated and are now unsafe to drink. Hospitals are overwhelmed and medical supplies are running low.There are also millions of children effected by the aftermath of this Typhoon Haiyan. Haiyan's wind strength at landfall had been expected to beat out Hurricane Camille, which was 305 kph (190 mph) at landfall in the United States in 1969.
