Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
Dr. Masters has posted an update with confirmation that Tacloban did indeed see Cat-5 conditions.

Haiyan had winds of 190 - 195 mph at landfall, making it the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in world history.
historic.

Tropical Cyclone Olivia which struck Australia in 1996. The winds were measured at 113 m/s (220 kt, 253 mph)! This exceed the previous record holder for surface wind speeds held by the Mt. Washington Observatory since 1934.

Olivia holds the record for a wind gust - 253 mph - recorded on land. Its top sustained winds were estimated at 145 mph, way below Haiyan's sustained 195 mph. That's quite a difference.

Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
Haiyan is moving more northward than expected, should affect southern portion of Hainan soon

Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
Unfortunately the eye is staying over water and forecast to continue that way until near Hanoi. This storm just won't quit.

There has been absolutely nothing from Guiuan, Haiyan's first landfall location. The NDRRMC does not have any evacuations from this listed; it's home to 47,000 people...
It took a direct hit from the eyewall of a 195 mph (+?) tropical cyclone. If tree debarking occurred in Tacloban, I imagine there's not a whole lot left...

You didn't say which but I think you're asking about Haiyan. Anyway, here's the wiki post for Olivia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Olivia
And here's Dr. Masters post explaining why sustained winds were thought to be 195 mph near landfall:

I'd be shocked if there is a single house left standing in that picture. A direct hit with sustained winds of near 200 mph in an onshore flow would likely flatten everything. I fear the death toll could be incredibly high there...

That could be generous. CIMSS auto ADT has final CI# at only 3.8, 61 knots. The satellite presentation is not that great anymore on the northwestern quadrant - looks like some drier air and we know the SSTs are cooler there. It also looks to me like the eye may be going even a little further north then forecast in which case it might clip Hainan island. That would further weaken it. It will be close.
