The thing is huge.....

"" CNN) -- Thousands of people in vulnerable
areas of the Philippines are being relocated as
the strongest storm on the planet so far this
year spins toward the country.
With sustained winds of 305 kph (190 mph)
and gusts as strong as 370 kph (230 mph),
Super Typhoon Haiyan was churning across
the Western Pacific toward the central
Philippines as one of the most intense tropical
cyclones ever recorded.
Its wind strength makes it equivalent to an
exceptionally strong Category 5 hurricane.
The storm, known as Yolanda in the
Philippines, is expected to still be a super
typhoon, with winds in excess of 240 kph (149
mph), when it makes landfall Friday morning
in the region of Eastern Visayas.
The storm is so large in diameter that clouds
from it are affecting two-thirds of the country.
Authorities in the region had
moved more than 3,800 people to
evacuation centers by late
Thursday, Maj. Reynaldo Balido of
the Philippine Office of Civil
Defense said.
Most of those relocated live in
Tacloban City, which sits on the coast of the
island of Leyte and has a population of more
than 200,000."" Link.
