Super Typhoon Yagi made landfall on Saturday in many places in northern Vietnam, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Many trees were uprooted, and electricity poles, advertising signs, and other debris were scattered across the streets.
Typhoon Yagi Tears Through Hanoi
Yagi, the third storm to slam Vietnam this year, tore through the capital city on Saturday night, leaving numerous areas in Ha Dong and Hoai Duc Districts in Hanoi in ruins, as reported by reporters for the Tuoi Tre (Youth) daily on Sunday morning.
A number of trees fell on Phan Dinh Phung Street, which is quite famous.
Traveling to Hanoi for tourism, Anh Nguyet, a tourist from Dong Nai Province in southern Vietnam, said she instead saw the major damage caused by the super typhoon.
“After the typhoon, Phan Dinh Phung Street is different from what I saw on the Internet,” Nguyet said.
“The street is now in a mess.
“What a pity that I could not take photos of me on the charming and famous street.”
After Typhoon Yagi, Northern Vietnam Grapples with Heavy Rain
Despite having lived in Hanoi since he was a little child, 65-year-old Ngo Quang Khoi of Phan Dinh Phung Street claimed to have never seen a storm as strong as typhoon Yagi. “The typhoon brought down many trees, including centuries-old ones, along the stretch from Phan Dinh Phung Street to Nguyen Bieu Street, leaving behind a heartbreaking scene,” Khoi said.
Yagi weakened into a tropical depression on Saturday after moving across the northern region’s landmass.
Early on Sunday morning, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms over the northern region and the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh in north-central Vietnam.
The Cleanliness Drive Post The Tragedy
Following the typhoon that devastated the region, residents of Ha Long City in Quang Ninh region began cleaning their homes and removing fallen trees on Sunday morning. Tran Quoc Nghien Street was a beachfront thoroughfare strewn with broken glass, advertising signs, fallen trees, and other garbage.
Van, a resident of Ha Long City’s Hong Ha Ward, claimed that in the previous 50 years, no strong storm had ever destroyed the city. She said that the house’s roofing sheet was blown around 700 meters distant by the severe winds.
She stated, “From 10:00 am until Saturday night, the typhoon was roaring.” Ha, a different resident, claimed that the strong wind tore her house’s roof off.
“I didn’t think the typhoon warning was so strong, even though it had been issued. I have never experienced a storm as bad as this one,” she remarked.
