On ABS-CBN , Kabayan Special Patrol (KSP) report. thousands of people were killed in an instant,which caused by super “ typhoon Yolanda” on November 8, 2013 which hits eastern leyte and Samar.

It is considered by many expert that the reason of great devastation is the rapid increase of water  from the sea and together with a very strong winds.
Mahar  Lagmay said, Executive director of project NOAH.  On year 1589, The Philippines, has  once experience a “Storm surge” and other succeding Typhoon. Like typhoon Dindo and frank . even Leyte and Samar  experienced it in 1897.
