Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The storm, which was Asia's most powerful this year, brought maximum sustained winds of 234 km per hour and heavy rains, resulting in at least 50 deaths and 300 injuries. The storm also caused landslides and flooding, with rescuers still searching for survivors in the Red River. The typhoon downed bridges, tore roofs off buildings, and damaged factories, causing power blackouts and major disruptions to factories in northern Vietnam. The storm was downgraded to a tropical depression on Sunday, but the government cautioned about the ongoing risk of flooding and landslides.
Floods and landslides are damaging the environment and threatening people's lives.
The hardest-hit provinces are the key economic hubs in the north: the port city of Haiphong and the neighboring province of Quang Ninh, which is home to the world heritage Ha Long Bay.
This is the worst typhoon in probably three decades in Vietnam. For the northern part of Vietnam, we've never seen this.
The (flooding) situation is very serious. We have ordered the discharge of water (from reservoirs).
Localities must be active to support and ensure the safety of their people and assets.
During the typhoon there was a blackout situation so some of them had to shut down their factories, which means they had to spend a lot of time and money to reinstall all the machinery.
The damage for the factories is really significant. Some have lost roofs or entire front facades.
The storm has devastated the city. Trees fell down on top of people's houses, cars and people on the street.
It might take a month if things go well before I fully recover from this damage.
I felt like I was drowned to the bottom of the river.
