Typhoon Haiyan Before & After Photos

Hey Der,

Typhoon Haiyan has caused a massive amount of destruction.  The death toll is now being downgraded from what they originally thought, which is good, but the level of destruction is frightening when you consider it's just wind.  But, as Ron White said..."It's not THAT the wind is blowing.  It's WHAT the wind is blowing."  Here's some before and after shots of the destruction.

I don't know if anyone can imagine being bombarded with winds of 190 to 195 mph for a full day, but here's some idea of what your community might look like when it was over.
