A survivor recalls the awful ordeal as typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines. Shirley Lim likened the event to the movie "Twister" recalling howling winds.

The Coron resident Lim spoke to CNN and shared that she felt that it was the end of her life. Lim survived but many homes in her city sustained severe damage. Lim added that the strong winds of Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, ripped off roofs of houses especially ones that were made out of light material.

In Tacloban City, bodies still lay on the streets -some have already been identified by relatives. Those who survived the storm are now left to drink unclean water, sources say.

Roselda Sumapit told CNN, "Even though we're not sure that it is clean and safe, we still drink it, because we need to survive."

Prison Inmates in Tacloban Threaten Breakout

A man got the attention of reporters when he threatened to jump off a roof. The man is one among the 600 inmates in the local prison. Reports say the prison had ran out of food and water on Monday.

Due to the lack of supplies, the inmates reportedly threatened the warden that there will be a mass breakout.

While the man on the rooftop did not mention water and food supply, he said he was devastated because he does not have a clue on what happened to his family when Haiyan struck the coastal town.

Victims Travel to Tacloban Airport

Desperate Tacloban residents traveled to the airport in Tacloban in search of food and water. A woman named Magina Fernandez came face to face with the country's leader Benigno Aquino III. She said that help did not come quickly enough.

Fernandez said, "We need to get the word out because the Philippine government can't do this alone." Fernandez is just one of the many Haiyan survivors desperate to leave the city.

Describing the situation as "worse than hell", Magina Fernandez told reporters that international help is needed in her town.

Filipinos Not Impressed by Philippine Government

The Philippine President is currently receiving flak from Filipinos around the world and in the Philippines for not acting decisively on the matter, reports say.

After a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit the southern part of the Philippines, Aquino chose to go ahead with his appointment in Korea leaving many Filipinos disappointed. After Haiyan made landfall in the country, leaving many places ravaged, Aquino declared a state of national calamity.
