Video captured by the team of CNN’s Andrew Stevens showed the raging power of super typhoon Haiyan in Tacloban City. The storm, which packed winds of over 250 km/h, slammed into houses, forcing doors and windows open. Terrified residents huddled together in a sturdy building, praying for the howling winds to die down. Later on, water flooded the streets, as the storm surge had begun to ravage the city. A family trapped in the first floor of their home break down a window for escape. With the waters quickly rising, fellow survivors help evacuating the family, using a mattress as a makeshift raft. When the winds died down and the waters receded, fallen trees and debris showed the full force of the storm’s fury.
