ALT On a white background, there is the Take Back The Tech! Logo on the top right corner and an illustration of a typhoon with a house and tree on the bottom right side. Text: When Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines in 2013, it tore through the country. It was the most powerful typhoon ever recorded to make landfall anywhere in the world.
