By Atlantic standards that typhoon would be a Cat 4 hurricane:

This typhoon wasn't even a CAT 5 as we rate them in our hemisphere. There have been 35 Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic since they have kept records.
en.wikipedia.org

Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 235 kilometers per hour (147 miles per hour), with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph), when it made landfall. By those measurements, Haiyan would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the U.S., and nearly in the top category, a 5.
