Typhoon Kalmaegi hits Vietnam after unleashing deadly destruction in the Philippines • FRANCE 24

Typhoon Kalmegi hit Vietnam Thursday, damaging buildings, knocking over electric poles, and uprooting trees. The storm brought brutal winds of up to 149 km per hour, and authorities warned of continuing rainfall of up to 200 mm in the country’s central provinces. Hotel staff who witnessed the storm are still in shock. I feel so sorry for the hotel with all this broken glass. The wind is so strong. Nothing can resist. We have never experienced such strong wind here. It’s a natural disaster. What can we do? people. Over 500,000 were evacuated and several people have been reported dead in Kong Nai, Guilai, and Dakluck provinces. The typhoon came to Vietnam days after hitting the central Philippines Monday, where it left at least 188 dead and 135 missing in the country’s deadliest natural disaster this year, said the Office of Civil Defense. The tide was so high. I had never seen the sea coming all the way into the sandy beach. The waves have never gone past that point. Calmegi is the 13th storm this year to hit Vietnam, which typically experiences around 10 storms or typhoons annually. Scientists warned that human-driven climate change warming sea surface temperatures is causing typhoons to become more powerful.

Typhoon Kalmaegi tore across Vietnam early Friday, killing at least five people after leaving a trail of destruction in the Philippines, where authorities said the death toll had climbed to at least 188 following record rains and flooding.
