Typhoon Haiyan: Storm of the Century

It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record.The JTWC's unofficial estimate of one-minute sustained winds of 315 km/h (195 mph) would, by that measure, make Haiyan the most powerful storm ever recorded to strike land. Due to extensive damage and high death toll, PAGASA announced that the name, Yolanda, will be retired off the typhoon naming lists. (Wiki)

Haiyan (Chinese: 海燕; literally "petrel")

Petrel comes from the Latin name for the Christian Saint Peter, and refers to the habits of certain species of birds to hover just above the ocean waves, with their feet barely touching the water, thus giving an appearance of walking on water, as St. Peter is said to have done. Peter was a prominent early Christian leader, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ according to the New Testament. He is venerated as a saint and traditionally considered to be the first bishop and Pope by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy. (Wiki)

Yolanda is a given name, of Greek origin but existing in many languages, meaning Violet. (Wiki)

During the Classic period, the name of the bird, φοίνιξ, was variously associated with the color purple, 'Phoenician', and the date palm. According to an etymology offered by the 6th- and 7th-century archbishop Isidore of Seville, the name of the phoenix derived from its purple-red hue, an explanation that has been influential. This association continued into the medieval period, albeit in a different fashion; the bird was considered "the royal bird" and therefore also referred to as "the purple one".(Wiki)
