This past weekend, Super Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines. The death toll from the typhoon is expected to be 10,000. The typhoon struck the rather poverty-stricken island of Bulusan.
The Philippines is no stranger to natural disasters. It sees volcanoes, earthquakes, and typhoons on, sadly, a regular basis. For more on why the Philippines is at risk for these phenomena, visit National Geographic.
