it's called super typhoon haiyan. it's 300 miles wide and it's bearing down on the philippines right now. >> oh my god! >> this storm has had wind gusts of 235 miles an hour. that is comparable to an extremely powerful category 5 hurricane. evacuations have been ordered and officials are preparing people for significant risk to both lives and property. as it hit land, the sustained winds as opposed to the wind gusts were recorded at an unheard of 195 miles an hour. by comparison, the massively destructive superstorm sandy carried gusts of 80 miles an hour. and hurricane katrina, the worst in recent american history, hit with 120-mile-an-hour winds. but this one is much bigger and the warnings from officials sound like something you hear before the start of a war. at this hour we still do not know the extent of the damage. we may not know for a long time. officials have predicted some

areas will lose power or be left uninhabitable for what could be weeks, even months. what is not directly impacted by the high winds from this storm could still face serious flooding from a severe storm surge. and for the latest on super typhoon haiyan, "world news now" is coming up soon. we're always live at abcnews.com. for a full report on the extent of the devastation, be sure to catch "gma" first thing in the morning. thank you for watching. i'm dan harris. good night.
