Typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) continues to plow through the Philippines, bringing destruction to the islands along its path.
While interaction with the islands has caused Haiyan's winds to decrease from its peak of 315 kph (195 mph), it remains a powerful and dangerous typhoon as it moves over the western Philippines Friday night, local time.
In advance of the cyclone, nearly 750,000 people were evacuated according to the Associated Press. At least four people have been confirmed dead with more injured and missing.
