Typhoon Haiyan was a devastating tropical cyclone that hit the Philippines in November 2013, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life. While there are no synonyms for the specific storm name, the term "typhoon" can be replaced with other similar words such as hurricane, cyclone, or tropical storm. Haiyan is also referred to as Yolanda in the Philippines. The storm set several records including having the strongest winds ever recorded at landfall and being the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record. Despite being nearly a decade ago, Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda continues to serve as a reminder of the significant impact extreme weather events can have on communities.
