(CNN) -- With 25 million people in its path, one of the
strongest tropical cyclones ever observed, Super Typhoon Haiyan, made landfall
Friday morning in the Philippines, the country's weather service reported.
At least three people, including a 1-year-old, were killed.
The infant and another person were hit by tornado debris in Cotabato province,
the country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said.
In Cebu, a woman died when she was hit by a falling coconut
tree, according to the provincial government of Cebu.
Tens of thousands of people in vulnerable areas of the
central Philippines were evacuated earlier as the monster storm spun toward the
islands.
With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as
strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Haiyan was likely the strongest tropical cyclone to make
landfall anywhere in the world in recorded history. It will take further
analysis after the storm passes to determine exactly if it is a record.
Haiyan will move over the many islands of the central
Philippines during Friday and part of Saturday before exiting into the South
China Sea. The storm will weaken slightly as it crosses land, but forecasters
with the Philippine weather agency, Pagasa, predict that it will maintain
super-typhoon intensity throughout its passage of the islands. More
