Typhoon Bopha
In 2012, Typhoon Bopha struck the Philippines. Winds were over 175 mph, and it turned into a Category 5 storm. It was a much stronger storm than Tropical Storm Washi, which claimed over 1,000 people the year prior. More than 1,000 people perished from Typhoon Bopha, and over 170,000 were evacuated to storm shelters. Despite the Philippine’s best efforts at helping people and trying to bring them to safety, many still perished (World Vision).
