When the UK was going to be hit by a "storm" two weekends ago, there was panic and it was 90mph winds that caused damage in the south and two people were killed. When you see the devastation Typhoon Haiyan has caused, it puts it into perspective.

UN requesting $301m but imagine it will probably take double of that to fully recover.
