Video shows footage taken at 6am on Friday 8 November as the storm hit Hernani in Eastern Samar. Plan staff member Nickson Gensis took this while sheltering on the 2nd floor of a house less than a few hundred metres from the sea.
"Six of us took refuge on the top floor of a boarding house. Five were praying and I was filming. The others called me to pray with them but I said that I needed to document this."
"Three of our group were male and we all wore trunks so that we could swim if we needed to. We were so scared. But I thought, 'if I die, so be it'."
"It was like a huge tsunami but the water receded quickly afterwards. We ventured downstairs and outside around noon. I took shots of the boarding house we had been in because I was so thankful thank it protected me. At 2pm I started work, travelling to assess the damage to villages supported by Plan. I realised as I was taking notes while talking to people that I was shaking."
Early on, I could not comprehend what that storm surge looked like BUT after watching this video....Grabe, I think I would not survive such an onslaught if it came without warning like that...I really feel for the survivors..
yea terrible thing that happened to those people but, there is a slight warning just like a tsunami, when the water gets sucked into the ocean it means theres a huge wave coming. not that it's enough time for them to do anything but a warning nonetheless. Thoughts and prayers with the survivors
@Rolando LOL! It's not a tsunami dude, it's a storm surge and they usually go up on land gradually not like this. This was very unprecedented because it acted like a tsunami when it was suppose to be just a storm surge. Experts said it was because of the change in the wind direction and the location of the city. It was a typhoon, tsunami's for earthquakes. lol
Nech Michelle Tuazon You do comprehend that he said LIKE not IS a tsunami right?
@@nechtuazon it acted like one because of the geographuc location hot water and winds you can see in the vid at the start the waves were already crashing in and near the end you can see the water looks a bit shallower and calmer then the big wave came thats what he's saying and you stated it yoyrself IT ACTED LIME A TSUNAMI Rolando said THERE WAS A SLIGHT WARNING LIKE A TSUNAMI feelin so smart ey wheb yoy cant conprehend what rolando said? Lol? laughing out loud that uwere laughing out loud fir no reason LOL
@@viacrucishector1821 she doesn't LOL
OK, now this is what the right front quadrant looks like when it finally comes onshore. it is a combination of 4 different components (such as the IBM (Inverted Barometric Mound/Wave), etc). But the full impact of the Storm Surge doesn't gradually build up (a portion of the Surge does gradually build up due to the Wind Set-up), but the major portion of the surge is moving along with the storm and if the storm is moving forward at 20 mph that is how fast the (IBM) Inverted Barometric Mound comes onshore. Awesome footage, and this is why people cannot out run the Storm Surge. Again, there are 4 different components of the Storm Surge, and most people can evade the 1st 3 components, but not the sudden IBM which travels at about the same speed as the storms forward motion (5-25mph). Many folks can be out in the calm of the eye and have the IBM suddenly hit them, and they cannot out run the 5-25 mph moving IBM. Great footage.
This town Hernani (shown in the video) had approximately 50 casualties. Most of the people in the town evacuated in the nearby school which is located a couple of kilometers inland. According to the residents the storm surge loose its power a couple of meters before hitting the school. Albeit the whole town is destroyed but a lot of people survive.
I've read about storm surges, and have seen other videos, but this is really graphic and scary. If you're not up high enough, or in a concrete building, you have so little chance to survive something like this.
yea storm surge is deadly, A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically tropical cyclones and strong extratropical cyclones. Storm surges are caused primarily by high winds pushing on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than the ordinary sea level. Storm surges claims many lives.
this one acted like a tsunami unlike normal storm surges that gradually take over land
@@mpred8606 I've read written descriptions of storm surges coming ashore like this, described as a "wall of water", but up till this video I don't think there were any movies that showed this so clearly.
@@hebneh and sadly this isnt a movie
@@hebneh I agree. I wish there would be movies made based on this.
The force of this storm surge is incredible, it's more reminiscent of a tsunami! I think normally a storm surge will roll in more gradually, but to see it happen so fast and powerful like that is just amazing and terrifying!
i almost cried when i saw this... my prayer goes out to the philippines, the survivors and the ones who didnt make it...
I saw the suffering and agony, of the people who struggled to stay alive, of the mothers who were holding tightly their crying babies from loud whistling of the angry wind and the scary sound of the thunders, the falling tears were shed for losing the beloved ones and mixed with the heavy bitter rain, the rage of wind with 250 MPH had no mercy.. had no exceptions! I've witnessed one of the most horrifying incidents in the history, a real disaster, a real sadness...Dear God, I ask you forgiveness for those who already left us, and your blessings for those who still breathing among us... Amen
i did cried, it's a heartbreaking situation, i pray for those souls and pray for the survivors that they can overcome considering they lost their love ones, the nightmare will hunt forever.
I was drinking my coffee and stunned on what i saw...is this real? It is real! That's like a 20 ft tsunami water

Yes,

This Is real Haiyan Eaten Philippines
incredible forces of nature.
This experience will forever change all foreigners who live in the Philippines.
yup...and i hope locals never forget what can happen so they are able to prepare and get to safety sooner.
Too incredible...
This was something the experts couldn't even predict. They were only able to figure why the storm surge acted like a tsunami after studying what happened. Unfortunately, the location, geographic condition, hot water temperature, and the change in wind direction permitted this to happen. There was nothing a human intervention could do as it was unforeseen.
Thats our house and thankfully we all survived.
You're mad lucky that you and your friends survive this kind of devastation.
video of the strom surge is very telling, it will not go to waste, i will use it incorporating my designs in the future
OMG! I'm so sorry for those people. So many of which are so nice
Youth in my Toronto classroom created this video of hope for the survivors.
INSPIRATION OF HOPE
May god be with you guys man.
My xGF is from Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines. She was out of town when Yolanda happened. But, she wasn't allowed to return for over a year.
Also, for those of us in the Western Hemisphere, Hurricane Dorian from last Summer, was very similar to this.
Both Yolanda (Typhoon) & Dorian (Hurricane) were the strongest of their category that I'm aware of. At least, so far this century.
So scary, prayers go out to all those affected
It's still amazing to see this in 2020
Lol
In just 2 hours of Haiyan being in Tacloban, it brought so much damage and casualties. Nothing compares to this it's like a tornado + tsunami.
there were warnings from the government about the storm surge but they didn't expect it to be like this. Even the Mayor and her family was struggling to survive they took a tape on it too, they were on the ceiling holding on for dear life watching the surging water below them.
jail was destroyed, almost all establishment were destroyed, so who will help them that time, each of them tried to save their lives, but how can you help your family from the monster floods. Even if you know how to swim theirs so many debris. My niece said that a man swam and injured his ear by a debris, so many were wounded.
Mostly dont know what is storm surges. That why most of them stay at home and thinking that it still as the other typhoon they experince.. but apparently not..
I feel sorry for those who didn't make. May their souls rest in paradise. And glad you + your team were safe.
"While the 5 others were praying... I was filming."
Now THAT is a person that I would like to meet!
Whenever someone says they'd rather be in a hurricane than a tornado, or compares the 2, I like to show them this
Yeah completely depends on the location though. If you are near water, have weak infrastructure and are in a dense area a tornado would probably be less damaging, but in a rural area with good infrastructure a hurricane ain't gonna do much.
This is no where near as bad as an EF5 tornado
@@ozone8897 seriously?
@@ozone8897 aint hurricanes deadlier and more destructive?
@@stickyboy420 Yes and no. Hurricanes cause more deaths and total damage because they are gigantic. But tornadoes cause much more intense damage and have a lower survival rate
I pray for all effected. May you stay strong and healthy in your turmoils. Namaste
When you thought it was safe to stay indoors, it's because you never expected this could possibly happen..
Thank goodness you survived! That mustve been so difficult..
omg bro that surge was so high god bless the survivors
everybody is asking who owns this little bamboo house? WELL, we used to live there, with great fortune we now live in tacloban where the storm also was horrific but we managed to survive thanks to GOD..
macro phages actually I think god did this.
@@theplayerformerlyknownasmo3711 He did not. This is nature + human activities that affect the nature.
@@keekee300 I blame god for everything since he is reported to have created everything.
I hope all six of you are safe & sound!
Filming > praying
prayers do nothing in times like this.
What the Fuck is your point
@@jinroh516 Praying whatever divinity wont help you, nor the others, nor the gods care about you.
Filming it might help others to understand how to survive situations like this.
And stop using "Fuck" as if you felt like a big boy.
Madre Mia!! So Scary! Thank God the people survived the horrific ordeal!
Thank god also for the typhoon since he created everything.
The fact that it all happens quickly and scary and sad, just like that 10,000 people died and millions of people left homeless, we won't forget this
This is what I imagined in my head on what the storm surge would look like before the storm hit and seeing this confirmed my suspicion that not only was this going to be a 20 foot surge, this was going to have the power that only a sunomi can rival. Now with Isis and ebola spreading around in this world this storm is already being forgotten and this cannot happen.
How can they be prepared for things the people of Tacloban don't know? This storm surge is the first time the Philippines experienced. A report from Pag-asa says it will be a very strong wind and rise of sea level but they did not release that to the public to avoid mass panic, and look what happen because of their decision, it's a mass grave. They should have force evacuate the people, some of these people who have died live too close to the sea. There's nobody to blame but the Government who should have acted more to save the lives of the people of Tacloban, the government knows, but lacks preparedness.
it has happened before... Calauag, Quezon - November 1995, Typhoon Rosing (international codename: Angela )
HAARP
If this is the result of new modern warfare, Philippines will be eradicated from the world...just a conspiracy...I hope this not about China's position in conquering our islands..
***** and you're one of the sheep on the opposite side of the spectrum I see.... Good on ya mate. Now run along and be a bitch somewhere else.
PAGASA did tell the LGUs and media about the high waves and storm surge. I even remember PAGASA showing a simulation of storm surge based on a Japan weather model in their press briefing and Kuya Kim Atienza reiterating the possible 7-8 meter storm surge in his weather report but the problem is, what does 7-8 meter storm surge looks like? And for most of the people in coastal communities without sufficient knowledge about weather stuff, the question that they were surely asking was "WTH is storm surge?" Sure, we can look at buildings with 7-8 meter height which I did to imagine the storm surge height. But no Filipinos, including me, know how catastrophic can storm surge be until Yolanda/Haiyan happened.
Cant even imagine having me in that situation..
It doesn't take this amount of storm surge to kill you. A fraction of this would be sufficient enough to wipe an area clean. This is the extreme and should be seen by everyone living in a hurricane prone area but also understand that even 1% of this, severity wise, could still easily kill you. The people filming this got extremely lucky! EXTREMELY! Like lottery winner lucky!
Water, the giver and taker of life
That was bravery
My prayers for the people ...
Hernani is plus or minus 33.3 km (20.69 miles) North-west of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. PAG-ASA stated that @ Guiuan, maximum sustaining winds is 235 kph and gustiness is 275 kph @ 5:00 am. So more or less this is what those wind speeds look like... I think the burst at the last part of the video is the 275 kph gust! They said that the wind was so strong that the structures were shaking they thought it was as earthquake thus mis-interpreting it as a tsunami.
Everyone who is told to evacuate due to storm surge who's having second thoughts needs to watch this video. Storm surge isn't always just a gradual water rise, it's better to think of storm surge as having the same deadly power as a tsunami.
goodness gracious!
Fyi there's a small island called Tulang Diyot in Cebu province near Leyte where all of its 1 thousand plus inhabitants have survived. How did it happen? Its mayor ordered the evacuation and all of 1,000 people from that island obeyed his order..that's why no one died when it was hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan.
0:43 here's the monster comes!!
Jesus christ!that was scary.! I dont think i can survive if i was here. R.i.p to those who died! And Godbles to the survivor! Be strong x
that was a deluge!
Ok this video freaks me out. All that sea water pouring in looks insane.
See the difference when a local leader has a strong leadership. The mayor of Tacloban did not order a force evacuation of his constituents living in danger zone near the sea. Aftermath? thousands of lives are lost.
the incompetent president renewed his very nauseating finger-pointing towards the decimated and paralyzed LGU of tacloban while hobnobbing with the officials of guiuan in samar. leche naman 'to! we are in a tremendous crisis and the president has the stomach to play politics.
Tama si Rodel, talagang may panahon pa mag turuan eh, imbes mag set na lang ng example then re-establish what was lost.
In Tanauan leyte, the LGU was prepared with trucks and supplies readied. But ALL those trucks and supplies were literally washed out by the surging waters.
Rodel Ferrer
Obviously e you are also playing politics based on your comments, specially when you sided with the Mayor and LGU of Tacloban, Leyte, absolving them of any shortcomings, just because you say they were also hit.
May kapabayaan yung Mayor nila sa Tacloban, kaya ganun kalaki ang casualty dun.
You should go read the news article about the island of Tulang Diyot in Cebu, a small island where they recorded ZERO casualty. This is because the mayor in that place ordered a forced evacuation. Sineryoso nila yung warning.
Yung mayor sa Tacloban e obviously didn't take the warnings seriously. Unlike the other towns. Sabi pa ng isang nag comment dito na yung mayor dun e inabutan ng bagyo sa may seaside property nila. Kung di ba naman sya tanga. Bagyo tapos sa tabing dagat sya? Sus!
Tapos ang kapal pa ng mukha na magpa presscon at magpa interview na kesyo daw buhay sila. Pwe!
Kapabayaan din yan ng mga local officials, isa pa, yang area na yan ay isa sa mga pinakamahihirap na lugar sa Pilipinas, bakit kamo? Obviously dahil ninanakaw nila yung mga pondo, na kung tutuusin e pwede sana ipambili ng rescue boats, bulldozer (pang tanggal ng debris) at pang build ng storm shelter (para hindi na sa school ginagawang evacuation area, maraming namatay dun sa school na ginawang evacuation area, dahil nilunod ng baha yung eskwela).
The mayor should have Googled "Storm Surge". Google could have saved more lives.
Wow, I've never seen such a violent storm surge before.
Unfortunately, the cataclysms will only grow and synchronize. This topic was raised at the Global Crisis conference. This already applies to every 24 July. All mankind has only one way out - this is the construction of a Creative Society! Everything is detailed in this global conference.
You don't have to evacuate the entire population of Tacloban. Those who are living in proximity to the sea should be given top priority and their mayor or governor should have order those people to evacuate to safer ground..voila, more lives could have been saved.

How does this guy stay silent I’d be screaming so much
Hello Plan International, I am making a documentary about the typhoon Haiyan. May I know who do I need to contact to have permission to use this video? Thank you very much.
Hi Christine, please email us at mediabank@plan-international.org with a brief outline of how and where you want to use this footage.
God damn!!! thats a massive rush of water!
Dear God, Please ease their suffering.
It's more like a Tsunami :^/ No surprise the property was washed away though, as it only looks like bits of wood :^(
it gave me freakin goosebumps....
The storm surge was so huge since it became bigger as the river becomes thinner, making a tsunami-like, storm surge
This footage is true. Shown the time of Haiyan footages that surfaced. Really traumatic if I'm there.
Sad but true. Even the gov't didn't understand what Storm Surge is. Result? All evacuees drowned at the government preferred evacuation center. At one point, we can't blame them as well. It's the first ever recorded super typhoon in history. Now we know how to prepare the next time.
Was their somebody in that house? I thought I saw a flashing light! Anyway the few minutes of the video was the killer wave, it was tsunami like wave! Thank you for sharing this will educate many people!
Actually, it was a storm surge like wave since that what it was.
its almost like a tsunami from the strength of it..
This will really help alot. So our so called-weather experts have something to study and hopefully save lives. They themselves dont know what the hell was that storm surge is, and how dangerous was it. Even evacuation centers got flushed by that storm surge. So clearly or so called weather experts have no fucking idea. period!
Maybe Philippine meteorologists should have used Google to find out what a storm surge is. Just saying.
You are right regarding a lack of knowledge regarding the Storm Surge. This is why I put together a Work Shop to explain the 4 major components of Storms Surges. This video footage is an example of the final component of the Storm Surge (Inverted Barometric Mound/Wave). I'll try to get back later and post a brief outline of the Components of Storm Surges. Great footage.
scary..
I was here visiting and this was crazy if I had recorded everything the video would be more epic than the movie inception
oh my god..so scary..:'(
that was unbelivable
My goodness!!
Oh my God.. . .
Thats a literal tusami at that point
Umm they went from ankle deep to 12 ft of water in seconds! Wowwww
Majority would say the buck stops at the Philippine president..nonetheless, if there should be buck passing, the local leadership of Tacloban city (mayor) should also catch that as well.
If this happened to my house in California it would get wiped out too... I just hope that house was evacuated long before the wave hit.
Nope, you're wrong. If this happened in california, it would have been known to the state of california to cause cancer. Everything is known to cause cancer in the state of california. Must be the reason why california is so fucked up.
How far is this from the shoreline???
Would you know if this was close to the GK villages in Hernani Samar when this fil was recorded
Oh my.
oh my god @45sec
Wow this is not a normal storm surge, more like a tsunami...
Sad..
OMG how terrifying
this was terrible. i can't image the people in the streets or the people trapped in other houses or even evacuation centers... it's like tsunami, but more terrible that tsunami, with super intense wind and rain.
what happened to the people who lived there? funny you should ask, there "apparently" was only 1 person who lived there, my uncle, he was drinking the night before the storm and guess what, he still survived haha..he escaped to the higher part of hernani called sabang where it was more elevated.
Certifié intergalactique!
They survived...
i was 1yrs old when yolanda hits
people here in Philippines really had no idea how they would visually define the gravity & meaning of the word "StormSurge" till that hit our country... We often see the rise of the seawater during strong typhoons.. Everyone knew already how strong the wind that typhoon has before it even landed... so I guess they thought it's just another strong typhoon they could handle in that area of tacloban... not knowing that the sudden violent upward and forward movement of the sea would be the REAL MAIN KILLER...it's a very phenomenal event...
Government is the 2nd thing to blame... Weather News Anchors should be the 1st to know the exact idea, they should have atleast backup videos to flash on TVs and study how to put FEAR in detail when reporting something like this
a lesson to learn of what really a Storm Surge is, it's now time to CHANGE the way how news weather is being reported.. thousands of people got instantly killed and suffered with just simple lack of knowledge...
gosh it looks like a tsunami :(
typhoon haiyan moves heavy objects
Oh my God
It's almost Tsunami.
It looks like a tsunami
@Anngil Loyola Exactly, which was something very unprecedented. Because storm surges usually increase by hours but this one came in like a tsunami
people always underestimate the power of water....
0:45. it is that wave that killed 4000 people
OMG.......make me fear to see
did you use a gopro?
6,340 died
Oh my GOD....mas malala pa pala sa tsunami
patas lang siguro. ^_^ mas mataas ang tsunami waves nun sa japan. pero ang storm surge mas mababa pero may malakas na hangin na kasama.
I've been through Ivan and Katrina and more.. They're exciting! Stuff flying everywhere, the roof peeling off, trees ripping up and crashing next to the bedroom! Oh and no power for weeks! Party time!
