I'm from Calbiga, Samar just an hour away from Tacloban. The typhoon struck early in the morning, the wind is so strong we were scared our house might get destroyed because it's not all concrete, thankfully we are all safe and no big damage to our house. During the typhoon, we were actually roaming around our barangay with my friends because we thot its not that strong. At 11am we already saw the sun. It's as if nothing happened. Then one of my mom's colleagues called her that there are hundreds of dead people in tacloban. At first we didn't believe it because to us it wasn't that strong. Then other people started saying that many were dead in tacloban. It is just so sad. We have relatives in Tacloban, my mom and sister have to check if they were ok. They just ride a habal habal or motorcycle with our cousin because they said it will be harder to pass if you're on 4 wheels. My mom said there were many dead bodies on the road and the smell is so awful and they had to carry the motorcycle sometimes because it was so hard to pass. My sister even stepped on a body and screamed. It was so sad and heartbreaking. Thankfully our relatives were ok. Rest in Peace to those who passed. 🙏
Even after nearly a decade when Haiyan struck the Philippines, disturbing scenes of devastation like these is still haunting. I did remember what you posted on Facebook, which was seen on NBC Nightly News, where you said that there are so many dead bodies lying in the streets, security's concern with looting, and water supply is running low. I couldn't imagine how horrifying it is for people in the immediate aftermath down there. Meanwhile here in Legazpi in my most fond memories of Haiyan, I do remember that it nearly missed us by a slight bit, but it did cause some damages at several structures, such as a local mall that I often go to where parts of the plaster wall were torn off by strong winds and debris scattered down the streets as I was cycling around the city that time. I really feel bad for the bereaved families who lost their friends, their loved ones from this Killer Typhoon. Thank you for sharing this footage, Jim, much love from the Philippines.
Man I did not know you were there for Super Typhoon Haiyan. Glad you survived. What an experience that must have been. Saw your Hurricane Dorian experience and thought it was one of the best Hurricane Videos on the internet. Now I get to watch you tackle Haiyan. Man that is true freedom mixed with a little fear. Take Care my friend.
I lived in Dulag. People just laughed at the incoming typhoon thinking it was just another one of those typhoon that comes in and out. We were pretty used to getting around 20 typhoons yearly. I was watching the rain by a window of my home, I knew it was a different typhoon when I saw the neighbor's roof disappear away like blowing a fire out of a candle. We had around 20-30 minutes of peaced as the center passed by, then the raging wind came back to harass us again. It was the longest morning of my life. People who came to seek shelter in my home looted us after the typhoon was gone. It was heartbreaking, depressing and as a young teenager I could only do nothing but watch. Days after we were still worried about looters and NPA terrorists who were rumored to come to small villages to steal food and rape women. It was the worst. We were all helpless until rescue came. Now we just laugh at our trauma to cope with what happened and promised to not underestimate typhoons.
5:18 This part got me to shed tears. Seeing how they live before the typhoon hit the ground, now I believe, and I really do believe that most of the people who were filmed in this video are no longer in existence because of the typhoon.
I'm from the Philippines this vids. is the reason why I Subscribed to You Eds" few years Ago However thanks. for documenting Its very dangerous it May caused your Life Always Keep safe 🙏
We live in rizal province near metro manila ,that time we really felt the strong wind cause by st yolanda . That is very scary experience especially in Tacloban, Leyte😢
thanks for re-watching . . . this version was much higher quality and more suitable for CZcams. The older one I'll probably unlink soon. Coming up on 9 years!
We were huddled under the sturdy kitchen table with my sons John and Jonathan. The kitchen roof collapsed on top of the table, howling winds, I was praying the Lord's prayer almost shouting, pleading for the Lord to stop the storm. That spot was the only place left with roof, the rest of the house was gone. Too hard to go out and when we made it out at 1pm, we were shocked to see that a whole coco tree with fronds nuts and all, a guava and mango tree fell our kitchen roof. With God's will we were not pinned down. Guia V. Dolina of Brgy. Arado, Palo, Leyte. Philippines !!!
I was in Iloilo , Cebu and Legaspi a few weeks after Yolanda hit. We did rice packing, clothes packing for the victims and distributed meals and water. It was heartbreaking
I swear it was my faith and prayers that saved our house and lives I was praying loudly calling to Our Almighty God and Mother Mary to spare us from harm 🙏
That typhoon is my most unforgettable one. Our house got entirely wiped out, luckily we were able to get out the house with no injury before it collapsed.
I’m curious as to what’s in the drum style case. Otherwise fantastic video. I’ve always loved storm chasing and I hope I can chase a cyclone one day here in Australia.
I remember watching this few years back specially that crazy pool scene. After having experience Ian first hand here in Florida, this looks like a totally different animal
So many perished in Yolanda. Ian also brough tragedy and swept away homes. I'm north of you in Tampa which is where Ian was suppose to hit. I was really concerned because I'm on the water too. One day we will get our Ian I'm afraid. Thanks for watching.
This is unbelievable footage, Jim. I found this after watching your footage from hurricane Charlie, with those 185mph winds. Have you done any tornado chasing? Or primarily cyclones? Thanks for all the amazing content!
I have done a little tornado chasing over the years, a lot of waterspout chasing when I lived in the Florida Keys, and a whole lot of hurricane and typhoon chasing. Thanks for watching.
that was some storm I am just so glad u made it out of their but where u rode out the storm was so Beautiful the day b4 the storm n to see it afterwards such devastation maybe next time dont bring so much with u lol
This was great but sad coverage. I can't believe you went there by yourself and did this. I just found and watched this coverage by @earth uncut the other day. So sad for all the people
The worst nightmare for us Filipino the YOLANDA typhoon is the strongest typhoon to hit Philippines and many people died in tacloban and in eastern visayas thats were we live and that was the worst spot And the worst Nightmare for ME because the Wind WAs super strong and got to survive to tell the story
Di makakalimot ang experience namin lahat na from leyte subrang saya akala talaga di tutuloy maglandfall si Yolanda pero lakas noong landfull 2am sa nov. Subrang Nakakakot na experience si Yolanda.
The power of the storm and especially the devastation are unreal. The Philippines is beautiful country and has relatively good disaster preparedness built into its infrastructure. Especially considering it’s vulnerability to earthquakes, typhoons & volcanic eruptions. But in a storm like this from the winds alone steel reinforced concrete construction built above storm surge levels can provide real safety. Tacloban was hit terribly but I can only imagine how it was in the country side where poverty rates are higher and construction standards are lower. It’s terrifying to think about what would happen to a low lying major US city if a Camille or Labor Day storm strikes. I don’t think even reinforced wood frame construction would stand up well to the winds alone. Katrina was a cat 3 at landfall a stronger storm with the same or greater surge could be the deadliest disaster in US history. Hopefully videos like these can help inform the general public and decision makers around the world of the risks and mitigation strategies needed to keep people safe from the type of disasters threaten that their areas.
10 Years aho sir... I myself went there and saw the aftermath. I am from the southern part of leyte. Same we experienced also the super typhoon Odette last Dec. 2021 here in my home town. I dunno if you chase that super typhoon. Anyway God Bless on your journey always sir.
wow Jon Jon, you were closer to the eye than I was at Leyte Park. I just looked up Leyte Park on google maps and it's no longer a resort but a Government building, Dept of Agriculture? I still see busted orange tiles on the rooftops.
@@JimEdds The government is actually planning to buy the land and convert it to a new tourist attractions. Btw I forgot to thank you for covering the typhoon this is the only video I can show my future children on how powerful Yolanda/Haiyan.
It affected most of the Philippines Batanes feeling the least and tacloban feeling the worst but every single town and city in the Philippines was affected in one way or another
Dead bodies all around the streets, I was there and a survivor t'was an unforgettable times, but worst disasters is yet to come, the haiyan is just a taste of what to come
Hi, I can't speak for all Filipinos but from what I experienced and all I can say yes,I don't know how to explain it properly but after a typhoon people will come out and see the damage we usually scout our area like who's tree feel or how much damage the houses are then after that we start the clean up, some people cry because thier house collapse but after that they collect what they can still salvage and we actually make jokes about it, like we would say that before yolanda some houses are still payag(hut) but after the typhoon there house are now made out of sim(we called it that but it's basically like a stainless steel roof) even their walls are made out of it... because not all people can afford stainless steel roof and now even the walls are Stainless Steel 😂 and you should see the coconuts, lots of coconuts will fall so we make "lamaw" it's a coconut drink,so you get the coconut water and put it in a container mix it with milk ,sugar/condenced milk and put the coconut meat as well and put crackers, it's quite dilicious, and even after the typhoon you can still see people laughing and smiling, oh and another thing during typhoons people with like hut houses or easy to ruin house will take shelter with people who's house are a lot sturdier so during the typhoon instead of panicking or be scared we kinda have a little get together and people would bring drinks alcohol and somsoman(food to munch while drinking) some would bring a guitar and would have jaming session with our neighbors 😄
I think sub 900mb easily east Tacloban and maybe again at the 2nd landfall 17 miles or so south of Tacloban. With the tech we have today, we could have put a barometer at Dulag and even a GoPro.
Thanks for watching everyone, it's been 9 years ! Never forget
Hello, What is the strongest storm u have ever experience?
The strongest I experienced is Vamco (Ulysess)
The strongest i have experience is Typhoon Rolly, nina and tisoy but the strongest is rolly
One of the best videos of Yolanda I’ve seen. Your video on Dorian was also fantastic!
Those kids, where are they now? 2023.

So many memories - wow! Thanks for putting this back out there again
Thanks James . . . that was an intense storm and you were 1/2 mile away for me.
Typhoon Haiyan Survivor here from Tacloban City!
The footage you've gotten from being in near-EF5 conditions is incredible
The wind in a hurricane isn't as concentrated as in an ef5 though.
Great Stuff, Jim. I've been watching your content for a little while now and nobody else comes close quality wise.
Thanks, and thanks for watching the video.

you are an absolute madman and i love it, these longer documentary style videos by you are amazing
Thanks Jim! Great video!! The pool footage was crazy!!
indeed at the end it was nuts. Thanks for watching Joshua.
Wow!, I just came across your channel Jim. The absolute violence of the wind , I don't think I've ever seen in captured so well. Stay safe.
Jim has balls of steel to capture those ferrocious winds
5:18 This part got me to shed tears. Seeing how they live before the typhoon hit the ground, now I believe, and I really do believe that most of the people who were filmed in this video are no longer in existence because of the typhoon.
I think certainly some of the people at the fish market near the water but to date nobody has told me of anyone. Thanks for watching.
That was a hell of a Chase that you endured Jim! Great footage as always!
Thanks Scott . . . that was one long chase. I want to go back next month or for sure on the 10 year anniversary.
Crazy to think that some people he met or captured on this video probably died on that same typhoon he's documenting
You're so brave to even film that event, while me trembling and scared the whole time.
Your back! :)
Jim is a great storm chaser. He gets right into the mix of things. Thank you Jim for showing us what a Cat 5 or Super Typhoon is capable of.
Your welcome Richard. Hope to get in a few this season too! Thanks for watching!
@@JimEdds I will be looking forward to your videos Be Safe
i really salute those personalities who keep doing their duties after the calamities ,
I'm from the Philippines this vids. is the reason why I Subscribed to You Eds" few years Ago However thanks. for documenting Its very dangerous it May caused your Life Always Keep safe 🙏
Thank you Daisy's_Knight.

Salamat sir jim.. I'm from Tacloban City.. Just near villa mayor..

These are riveting videos can’t get enough 🤦🏻🤷♂️🙌
More coming, thanks for watching.
I already watched your old video.. everytime I rewatching it give me goosebumps again and again the night before it' hit still clear in my mind
thanks for re-watching . . . this version was much higher quality and more suitable for CZcams. The older one I'll probably unlink soon. Coming up on 9 years!

Incredible footage 👏

Wowww great good job, Sir salutee 👏👐

This guy is just built differently. Clearly his massive balls of steel keep him from being blown away!! Massive respect!!
The raw power of mother nature is truly awe inspiring. Stay safe out there Jim!
Thanks I will try. Thanks for watching.
I’m curious as to what’s in the drum style case. Otherwise fantastic video. I’ve always loved storm chasing and I hope I can chase a cyclone one day here in Australia.
The day we lost our ancestral house but made our home more stronger. (T_T)
Nice blog sir Jim.. 🙏🙏🙏
Congrats sir Jim fro this very informative videos
Awesome!

Yes 9 years ago typhoon haiyan anniversarry
this is the time where super typhoon category is not yet implemented no category 5, only category 3 that's why people don't really know what to come.
Strong conviction and great documentary thank you
your welcome and thanks for watching the video

I was later told the water came up about 10 feet there :(
God bless you sir

Bravo Jim....Stay Safe
At 10:26 The realm to other dimension is starting to make a black hole in slow mo. This world is creepy and scare.
its 2022 now but that storm will never be forgotten.
Imagine, some people and civilians in that video is now dead. Praying for the souls of those people.
Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Tacloban City, Leyte 11/08/13| Friday By: Jim Edds
Eey 8 years ago since typhoon haiyan
Super Typhoon Yolanda 🌀🌀 Tacloban Philippines
R.I.P. to the loved ones❤
Imagine, some or worstly most of these people that were filmed would be probably dead, It's been a 9 years today
its been 1 decade since this tragic event hits philippines..
10.40 was really unexpecyed at the backround for me
2013 guys. 9years ago
Me to I remember that 😦
When Jim Cantore pulls into town and Jim dons the “helmet” you know shits about to get REAL!😅
So true . . . and people want to know where Jim is when a storm is coming.
10:30 things really escalated quickly
10 Years aho sir... I myself went there and saw the aftermath. I am from the southern part of leyte. Same we experienced also the super typhoon Odette last Dec. 2021 here in my home town. I dunno if you chase that super typhoon. Anyway God Bless on your journey always sir.
It's just amazing how a typhoon can do the power of a nuclear bomb shockwave, but it does this nonstop and consistent.
Exactly
9 years guys
It's sad, some of the people you captured on cam on that marketplace Nov.7 might not be around anymore after haiyan
yes but I haven't had anyone point out anybody in the video in that regard. Thanks for watching.
I wonder if Mang Fred, the boat driver is still alive today. Hope you can find him when you get back.
He was awesome. Solid reliable and adept on the water. I was so glad to get out to Cebu. Thank you Mang Fred.
Super Typhoon Yolanda
Tacloban Philippines
Malapit na ang 9 years ago nito.
Theres a latest forecast for 92W which might be a major storm although track and intensity is still unpredictable
Man my hometown was just 3km south of tacloban and it was the worst experience of my life I was just around 12 years old that time
wow Jon Jon, you were closer to the eye than I was at Leyte Park. I just looked up Leyte Park on google maps and it's no longer a resort but a Government building, Dept of Agriculture? I still see busted orange tiles on the rooftops.
@@JimEdds The government is actually planning to buy the land and convert it to a new tourist attractions. Btw I forgot to thank you for covering the typhoon this is the only video I can show my future children on how powerful Yolanda/Haiyan.
Citys and places and villages in its path
Manila, baguio, Quezon city
Villages in its path
San Jose Village 3 (Almost)
And the power was out
It affected most of the Philippines Batanes feeling the least and tacloban feeling the worst but every single town and city in the Philippines was affected in one way or another
😢😢
i remember the news before the landfall of yolanda everything is ready said by the news and the president, and this happens
I hope that Oscar and Oscar's family are fine.
I heard from him a few years after the storm . . . he listened when I told him this would be a very bad storm. Thanks for watcing.
St a
STill fresh in mind while watching this video...we are also a survivor
It's really hearbreaking that not all those people who were in the pictures you presented survived.
Absurd winds
Dead bodies all around the streets, I was there and a survivor t'was an unforgettable times, but worst disasters is yet to come, the haiyan is just a taste of what to come
Yes it was horrible

Hi sir based on your experience there, Is it true that Filipino people are resilient?
yes and not only that but Filipino people are the nicest of any country I have been and then I'd but the people in Louisiana right there with them.
Hi, I can't speak for all Filipinos but from what I experienced and all I can say yes,I don't know how to explain it properly but after a typhoon people will come out and see the damage we usually scout our area like who's tree feel or how much damage the houses are then after that we start the clean up, some people cry because thier house collapse but after that they collect what they can still salvage and we actually make jokes about it, like we would say that before yolanda some houses are still payag(hut) but after the typhoon there house are now made out of sim(we called it that but it's basically like a stainless steel roof) even their walls are made out of it... because not all people can afford stainless steel roof and now even the walls are Stainless Steel 😂 and you should see the coconuts, lots of coconuts will fall so we make "lamaw" it's a coconut drink,so you get the coconut water and put it in a container mix it with milk ,sugar/condenced milk and put the coconut meat as well and put crackers, it's quite dilicious, and even after the typhoon you can still see people laughing and smiling, oh and another thing during typhoons people with like hut houses or easy to ruin house will take shelter with people who's house are a lot sturdier so during the typhoon instead of panicking or be scared we kinda have a little get together and people would bring drinks alcohol and somsoman(food to munch while drinking) some would bring a guitar and would have jaming session with our neighbors 😄
That’s why they always have the respect of Canadians and we have a Filipino appreciation week to celebrate Filipino culture in Canada
I wonder what the lowest air pressure this thypoon Yolanda could be.
I think sub 900mb easily east Tacloban and maybe again at the 2nd landfall 17 miles or so south of Tacloban. With the tech we have today, we could have put a barometer at Dulag and even a GoPro.
And then Rai hit the ph😭
Is this mang tani?
Nope
Where is Oscar now sir?I'm a survivor too..
not sure I have not heard from him in a while, I suspect he is still in Tacloban
