On November 7–8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan roared through Tacloban and the Eastern Visayas Region. The Tacloban Airport was effectively destroyed by winds averaging to 314 km/h (195 mph) and a 4.0-meter (13 ft) storm surge. The airport terminal and the control tower were utterly demolished, and the airport was rendered unusable.
