In Vietnam, at least 59 people were killed as Typhoon Yagi triggered massive floods and landslides. A major bridge collapsed, and a bus was seen being swept away in floodwaters earlier today. This is a resident of the port city of Haiphong.

Bui Van Thuy: “The damage done to this community is extremely severe. Most of the roof was blown away, or the ceiling caved in. It may take three or four years for this place to look the same again, because the damage is so terrible. The surroundings look like an apocalypse day. Never before has a storm dealt this much damage to us.”

Typhoon Yagi killed at least 20 people in the Philippines and four in southern China last week. Climate change is making extreme weather events like typhoons more frequent and deadlier.
