good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. in the philippines this morning, a massive relief effort is slowly taking shape, survivors of typhoon haiyan say shortages of food, water and medicine and shelter. unu.s. military officer described the scene as overwhelming. authorities say the death toll could top 10,000. philippines president benigno akein fo haquino has declared a state of national calamity. today, back in the philippines, under stormy skies, thousands of survivors stormed the airport in hard-hit tacloban, desperate to get out. >> it's pretty hard here. everything's gone. our houses. everything. there's nothing to eat, nothing to drink. >> reporter: four days after the storm hit the magnitude of the destruction, it's still unfolding. the city of tacloban with a population of 220,000 was hit

with the full force of the storm and all but wiped off the map. >> every building here is either significantly damaged or destroyed. >> reporter: hospitals and pharmacies were washed away, leaving health care workers desperate for medicines. decomposing bodies litter the streets. stores have been looted and people are desperate. an international relief effort has begun. the "u.s.s. george washington" and other u.s. navy ships are expected to arrive off the coast within days. philippines officials say over 9 million people were affected by the storm. in the united states, victims' relatives trying to reach and help loved ones, collecting emergency supplies and raising money. >> my mother and youngest sister were holding on to a refrigerator, floating around in muck for 45 minutes. they put the young children inside the refrigerator. >> reporter: call centers like this one in philadelphia are trying to put families in touch,

but communications are difficult. >> we direly need help. this is for real. this is help. >> this morning, relief efforts are being hampered by some more rough weather. officials are trying to move supplies from the island of cebu to tacloban. cbs news contributor barnaby lo is in cebu with more relief efforts. barnaby. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. aid has started arriving here in the central philippines. this is the reason, of course, it was battered by typhoon haiyan. the cargo plane has just arrived. the u.s. has sent a plane load of equipment but can't help clear the roads for aides to get to millions of people who need it very badly. in tacloban city, millions have lost their homes, they're sleeping under pouring rains, they do not have enough food and water so they've been looting the grocery stores.

but there is another storm, like you meth you mentioned that just made landfall in the southern philippines and it's bringing thunderstorms to the region as well. it's already hampered relief efforts. now stranded in ports here at the air base, soldiers continue to load relief goods on military aircraft, though it's unclear whether they can get to tacloban city which is one of the worst hit by haiyan. >> barn floridaby, you have been there since the storm hit on friday. i know you had a hotel close to the shore. tell us what you the experience was like when the typhoon came ashore. >> it was the most terrifying experience of my life. the winds were not just howling. usually, winds from typhoons are howling as they're coming in one direction. but this wind was coming from all -- and when we hid inside the building, the building was shaking like there was an earthquake. and then the storm surge because

the water was rising right beside the building, and it was 12 to 14 feet, luckily, it did not reach where we were. the ceilings were caving in, the roofs were flying. it was terrifying. terrifying doesn't even begin to describe it, anne-marie. >> i'm wondering, we see video of you moving from outside of the building, inside of the building, then on to the second floor. what sort of information were you given about how to protect yourself under those circumstances? or were you just simply moving to higher ground as quickly as possible? >> well, we were actually trying to get to the city because we knew that there was going to be a storm surge. of course, it was too late by then. the typhoon had made landfall. but we had no choice but to stay at the hotel. we tried to go to where there was cover. but the water was rising so quickly, so we went to the second floor. there was debris flying all over so we went back to the ground floor and the water was quickly

rising. we went back to the second floor. went to another room and hoping we would get protected from that, but the ceiling starts caving in. we went from one room to another, just really hoping we would survivor the storm. >> barnaby, i'm glad you're okay. it's quite a story. barnaby lo in cebu island, thank you very much. folks in parts of the midwest and northeast will see the first snow of the season. an arctic-like blast of cold air is moving across the country and into the mid-atlantic. this morning, snow showers are possible from philadelphia to boston. overnight, snow began to fall in northern indiana, lake-effect snow is expected in chicago and northern michigan as well. and this week on capitol hill, the affordable care act remains on center stage. those who helped develop the health care website will testify and are sure to be asked about security issues. meanwhile, it's supported that participation in obama care is dramatically less than expected. susan mcginnis is in washington, susan, good morning. >> good morning, anne-marie.
