As Typhoon Yagi hit Quang Ninh and Hai Phong, many trees and metal-roofed houses on the streets of Hanoi also fell and collapsed. Emergency services were promptly on site to clear the debris and ensure traffic safety.
The storm, which made landfall on September 7, has caused significant damage throughout the city, with numerous trees uprooted, roofs collapsed, and widespread flooding. Emergency services are working around the clock to clear debris and ensure safety on the city's roads.
Mai Van Khiem, the Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, particularly warned of the danger posed by pre-storm thunderstorms, which can produce strong gusts. With the thunderstorms and strong winds in Hanoi, the risk of falling trees, flying metal sheets, and billboards is very dangerous to pedestrians. Residents in the coastal provinces of Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, and Ninh Binh, directly affected by the circulation of storm number 3, should absolutely not go outside during heavy rain and strong winds.
