According to EMS news, the entry was a good mixture of forecast details and practical information for viewers as Super Typhoon Haiyan approached Vietnam.
Producer/editor Tran Thao Linh, who is a meteorologist with a master’s degree, did an excellent job of putting the enormity of the typhoon in context by showing a video of the storm in the Philippines, and comparing it in size and strength to other well-known storms.
