Haiyan, potentially the strongest recorded typhoon to make landfall, slammed into the Philippines central islands on Friday, forcing millions of people to flee to safer ground or take refuge in storm shelters. The category-five super typhoon whipped up giant waves as high as 4-5 metres (12-15 feet) that lashed the islands of Leyte and Samar, and was on track to carve a path through popular holiday destinations. Haiyan is also forecast to pass close to the Philippines second-largest city Cebu, home to around 2.5 million people, and also buffet the capital Manila.
