Typhoon Haiyan Recorded as Strongest Storm EVER on the Planet

After the typhoon Haiyan went over the central part of the Philippines destroying everything in it's path and leaving nothing but devastation everywhere, the World News announced it was the LARGEST and STRONGEST storm EVER RECORDED on EARTH, on the PLANET!

Typhoon Haiyan had winds at 195 mph with gusts up to 235 mph and traveled at a speed of 23 mph across the islands.  There has never been a storm so strong to hit land.  It's just hard to believe that Jessica is there in the Philippines and survived (luckily not in the direct path) the storm, however that is not true for all.  It is predicted that over 10,000 people have died in the storm and it's aftermath.  Some from the flooding, some from the powerful winds, some from dehydration, some from infection and other medical conditions.

Several counties military units have been sent there to help establish order and rescue the survivors.  204 Tacloban Missionaries were relocated to the MTC in Milan and will be redistributed to other missions on the Luzon island.  That means some of them will be relocated to Olongapo where Jessica is.

I have been severely affected and effected by this typhoon.  I started experiencing asthmatic symptoms after it was announced how severe the storm was.  I knew Jessica was safe, but I so worried for the people there that would have no protection from such a GIGANTIC and POWERFUL storm.  It soon developed into a full blown asthma attack that lasted 4 ½ days.

I also decided to collect clothing and hygiene items for those that have been displaced in the Philippines.  It's the least I can do.  I can't sit here in America with my closet full and know that they have nothing through no fault of their own.  We are collecting at Jessica's high school and around the neighborhood and through the ward.
