"More than 100 people were killed in a Philippine city that took the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said.
That death toll in Tacloban was the first significant casualty report in a day when authorities began surveying the devastation of a typhoon described as perhaps the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history, with 195 mph winds and gusts of 235 mph.
Capt. John Andrews, deputy director of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, told CNN he received a radio report from an airport station manager that there were more than 100 bodies in the street in Tacloban and more than 100 people injured.
CNN's Paula Hancocks, reporting from Tacloban, said the damage looked like that of a tsunami, with evidence of a water surge reaching the second level of buildings and trees flattened."
