Re: Storm Surge Super Typhoon Haiyan - Phillipines
Not the same as a Tsunami as a Tsunami is a single wave that comes in then withdraws. The way the typhoon hit Tacloban was that the eye of the storm was south of Tacloban, the storm was spinning ant clockwise. The wind from the storm was continuously driving the water from the sea into Tacloban while the storm was in that position. South of Tacloban, there was no flooding as the wind was driving everything out to sea. If the storm had passed by Tacloban to the North, we would not have had 7000 deaths. I can't remember now but I believe the water went through Tacloban City at 3 metres high (about 10 feet) |

Re: Storm Surge Super Typhoon Haiyan - Phillipines
1000's of people still homeless, three years later, millions of dollars of donated charity money still unaccounted for, hundreds of tons of emergency food stuffs disappeared, or been found for sale in Manila, or stashed away in the houses of local politicians.... The most fierce typhoon ever to make landfall, and the greedy bastards still had to rip off the people affected!  |

Re: Storm Surge Super Typhoon Haiyan - Phillipines
A tsunami is a series of waves not just one, drop something into a bowl of water and you can see multiple ripples. It's the same principle with a tsunami.
