In downtown Tacloban, there is a street with a number of copra warehouses. The street in this video runs alongside the harbor and is the back entrance to many of these warehouses. The cement walls of those buildings collapsed and resulted in all the rubble. The video was shot on December 7, 2013, about one month after the typhoon struck. Many of the streets in Tacloban had been cleared by this time, and I was somewhat surprised to find that all this rubble was still there. Many homeless people in Tacloban live in this area and sleep underneath the overhanging roofs of the warehouses for protection from the elements.
