Super-Taifun Yagi: Vietnam has been fighting for decades after the most violent storm

The Super-Taifun "Yagi" has devastated in the past few days in both China and Vietnam and has been one of the strongest tropical storms for many decades. Experts classify him as the most violent autumnalaifun, which has been hit on the Chinese mainland since 1949. At least four lives were required in the People's Republic, while dozens of others were injured. In Vietnam, the number of fatalities rose to terrifying 26. This was the worst hit storm that the country had had to experience for 30 years.

The Typhoon "Yagi" raged over Nordvietnam for almost 15 hours, with the effects being devastating. Several airports had to stop operating during the storm to ensure the safety of passengers and personnel. The population was warned of the dangers of landslides and floods, while heavy rain fell in many areas and further tightened.

devastating damage in the region

The destruction is remarkable: According to the authorities, almost 250 people have suffered injuries, and disaster protection measures report thousands of damaged houses. Over 120,000 hectares of rice fields were flooded, and more than 1,500 fishing grounds went under the typhoon. Especially in the capital Hanoi, more than 25,000 trees were uprooted. The sea was so churned that 25 ships went down in the waters. This led to the fact that many citizens were still on Monday without electricity, which exacerbated the already difficult situation.

climatologists find that tropical vertebral storms arise when effective air currents form over warm ocean water. The latest global warming has increased the likelihood and intensity of such storms, which may explain the buoyancy of these extreme weather events.

The situation in the affected regions is dramatic and requires rapid action. Aid organizations are working to help the victims, while the governments in both countries are faced with the enormous challenge of restoring the infrastructure and the livelihood of people. With every new storm, the urgency is growing to prepare for the serious consequences of climate change and to find sustainable solutions in order to minimize the effects of such disasters in the future.

It remains to be seen how the governments and the international community will react to the devastating consequences of “Yagi”. However, one thing is certain: the region will carry the scars of this storm for a long time while trying to get back on its feet.
