<P> At 2040 UTC on November 7 , Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in Guiuan , Eastern Samar at peak intensity . The JTWC 's unofficial estimate of one - minute sustained winds of 305 km / h ( 190 mph ) would , by that measure , make Haiyan the most powerful storm ever recorded to strike land . Interaction with land caused slight degradation of the storm 's structure , though it remained an exceptionally powerful storm when it struck Tolosa , Leyte around 2300 UTC . The typhoon made four additional landfalls as it traversed the Visayas : Daanbantayan , Bantayan Island , Concepcion , and Busuanga Island . </P>
