I’m confused here. The big storm that just hit, the “super typhoon” was named Haiyan. this article talks about “Yolanda”. The article date seems correct. Were there two storms ?

The Philippine weather service called the storm “Yolanda”. Our weather service called the storm “Haiyan”.

What we call Typhoon Haiyan, the Filipinos call Typhoon Yolanda.
