Deadly Super Typhoon Yagi hits Vietnam | BBC News

Asia's strongest Typhoon of the year has hit Vietnam after sweeping through China's Hainan island, where at least two people were killed.
Thousands of trees have been uprooted, with ships and boats swept out to sea, according to Vietnamese state media.
The storm hit Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces with winds of up to 203 km/h (126 mph) on Saturday morning, the Indo-Pacific Tropical Cyclone Warning Center said.
In Hai Phong, news agency AFP reports metal roof sheets and commercial sign boards were seen flying across the city.

I am an American tourist currently in Da Nang, Central Coast of VN. For a week, the government sent out regular storm warnings and updates. They also deployed workers to trim trees, especially those near power lines, etc. In the end, the storm missed us but we got a bit of crazy strong winds. Thankfully, there's minimal damage thanks to the advanced warnings and preparation done by the government. I am extremely grateful and impressed. And yes, my heart and prayers go out to everyone who's been affected by Yagi🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you all! I am Vietnamese and currently living in Hanoi. When I was a child, my mother often told me that in the Year of the Dragon, it usually rains a lot and there are often storms. It was true; in the Dragon years, it rained heavily, but this is the first time I have experienced such a big storm. In the North of Vietnam, there are usually fewer storms compared to the Central region. Now, the storm has passed, and we are working on recovering from the aftermath.

May God bless and continue to protect you and your family. We here in the US will continue to pray for all those affected by this awful storm. We have massive hurricanes here but nothing like a tycoon. 🙏 ❤

[@QuicknStraight]

We, here in the Philippines, were lucky it didn't intensify until it had passed over northern Luzon. It still caused 13 deaths here in the Philippines. Then, as it crossed the west Philippine Sea, it intensified into a super typhoon and hit Hainan very hard, with 200km/h winds. That took some of the steam out of it before it reached Vietnam, luckily, or it could have been worse.

[@apinezstats2237]

The deaths were mostly due to flooding and landslides. The typhoon was more torrential when it hit the Philippines.

On September 8th, the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue of Yen Bai province reported that as of 11 am on the same day, the rain and storms had caused one death. The victim was a child named Sung Thi T (born in 2015), who was trapped under a collapsed three-compartment wooden house. The rain and storms also damaged 439 houses, forcing 269 households to evacuate. Over 610 hectares of crops were damaged or affected, and more than 160 poultry and livestock died. In Tram Tau district, floodwaters rose nearly to the roofs of houses near the station. In addition, the rain and storms caused landslides on many roads, washed away floating bridges, and caused difficulties for travel.

I lived in a small town in the North. It is located far from the ocean, maybe over 100 km, and there are mountains around. So, it has been rare for storms to come to this area. But this time, my friend sent me a picture of 30-year-old trees in front of my old house that had fallen. It is really the biggest storm to hit the North(or maybe all over Viet Nam ) in more than 30 years.
