Fourth Thursday of November: THANKSGIVING DAY.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

HARVEST FEAST = fiesta de la cosecha
ACKNOWLEDGED = reconocido, declarado

HAIYAN DISASTER

Tacloban, Philippines (CNN) -- No food. No water. Houses and buildings torn to pieces. Bodies scattered on the streets. Hospitals overrun with patients. Medical supplies running out.

SCATTERED = DESPERDIGADO

OVERRUN = SOBREPASADO

SUPPLIES = SUMINISTROS

As Typhoon Haiyan barreled across the South China Sea on Sunday, getting set to bring more destruction to Vietnam, many Filipinos grappled with devastation on a level they'd never seen before.

BARREL = IR DISPARADO

The Philippine Red Cross estimated at least 1,200 people were killed by Haiyan, but the full death toll could be significantly higher as officials make their way to remote, nearly inaccessible places pummeled by the storm.

DEATH TOLL = NÚMERO DE MUERTOS

PUMMEL = GOLPEAR

Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez told CNN it is "entirely possible" that 10,000 people may have died in the storm in Leyte province.

"People here were convinced that it looked like a tsunami," Romualdez told CNN.

"I have not spoken to anyone who has not lost someone, a relative close to them. We are looking for as many as we can," he said.

'This is really, really bad, worse than hell'

Carrying all they could from their devastated lives, a steady stream of typhoon victims kept arriving at Tacloban airport, looking for food, water and escape

(...)

Haiyan may be the strongest tropical cyclone in recorded history, but meteorologists said it will take further analysis to confirm whether it set a record.

The typhoon was 3.5 times more forceful than Hurricane Katrina, which hit the United States 2005.

But Haiyan's wrath has caused much more than tremendous loss of life and epic destruction -- it's also ruined the livelihoods of many survivors.

"This disaster on such a scale will probably have us working for the next year," said Sandra Bulling, international communications officer for the aid agency CARE. "Fishermen have lost their boats. Crops are devastated. This is really the basic income of many people."

WRATH = IRA

LIVELIHOODS = SUBSISTENCIA

CROPS = COSECHA

BASIC INCOME = SALARIO
