In a rough translation, this reporter is describing her experience in the storm, the extent of the destruction, and the pure ferocity of the typhoon.
She recalls that the last strong typhoon they had was in 1984, which still pales in comparison to Haiyan. She then recounts taking refuge in the local cathedral. But even the strong structure and holy place has its roof torn clean off. In the first part of the video, she starts of very professional, but fails to contain her tears as she tells the station how she felt safe at first in "The Lord's home".
