Haiyan heads for Philippines
Super Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest storm seen in during the satellite era, was spotted by the Japan Meteorological Agency's MTSAT on Nov. 7, 2013, as it headed toward landfall over the Philippines.
Eye of a typhoon
This image shows some of the islands at the mouth of the Leyte Gulf in the Philippines through the eye of Super Typhoon Haiyan. This imagery is of water vapor as measured in the infrared spectrum from the Japan Meteorological Agency's MTSAT geostationary satellite, taken at 2030 UTC on Nov. 7, 2013.
Over Panay Island
Super Typhoon Haiyan roared into the Philippines archipelago on the morning of Nov. 8, bringing historic wind, rain and storm surge. The Suomi NPP satellite's VIIRS instrument captured this true color data image between 0500 UTC and 0514 UTC as the storm's center passed over Panay Island.
Astronaut sees a storm
NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg took this photo of Super Typhoon Haiyan from her home on the International Space Station on Nov. 9, 2013, one day after Haiyan devastated the Philippines.
Philippine Red Cross evaluates damage

Only stumps remain
In the rural areas in southern Leyte province, on the island of the same name, only stumps of trees remain.
Mounds of debris
Huge piles of debris littered the roads in Leyte and made access to rural communities there very difficult, the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) said.
Trees on houses
Tress were uprooted by the storm and then crashed into people's houses, ECHO reported.
Haiyan heads for Vietnam
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image of Typhoon Haiyan heading toward Vietnam on Nov. 10, 2013. The storm was weakening as it headed for its second landfall; as of early Sunday morning, the storm had maximum sustained winds of about 90 miles (145 kilometers) per hour, the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane.
This image released by the American Red Cross is flawed, and inaccurately shows Super Typhoon Haiyan taking up the entire continental U.S. It was instead much smaller.
