Typhoon Yagi struck the coast of Vietnam on Monday, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the region. The storm made landfall in the Quang Ninh province, causing damage to homes and infrastructure in the area.
Residents were urged to evacuate as the storm approached, but many were unable to leave due to flooded roads and limited transportation options. Some residents were forced to seek shelter in schools and other public buildings.
Local officials described the storm as “out of a horror movie” due to its intensity and destructive impact. The storm caused power outages in some areas, leaving residents without electricity for hours.
There were reports of landslides and flooding in mountainous regions, posing a threat to residents in those areas. Emergency response teams were deployed to help those affected by the storm.
Typhoon Yagi is the latest in a series of natural disasters to hit Vietnam in recent weeks. The country has been grappling with severe flooding and landslides, which have displaced thousands of people and caused widespread damage.
Authorities are working to assess the extent of the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi and provide assistance to those in need. The storm serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for natural disasters and the need for effective response and recovery efforts.
As the region continues to recover from the effects of Typhoon Yagi, residents are urged to exercise caution and follow guidance from local officials to ensure their safety and well-being.
