Typhoon Yagi: Asia’s most powerful storm submerges parts of Vietnam and Thailand

[Kurt]

Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Asia this year, has caused widespread devastation and left dozens dead since it struck southern China and Southeast Asia last week.
After hitting the Philippines and claiming over a dozen lives, the storm moved westward, affecting southern China and later impacting parts of Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos.
Almost a week after making landfall, northern regions of Vietnam and neighboring Thailand are still submerged, with many farms and villages inundated. Communities are grappling with severe flooding and the ongoing risk of landslides.

The devastation from Typhoon Yagi is heartbreaking. It’s a stark reminder of how powerful and unpredictable nature can be. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the flooding and landslides in these regions—hoping for quick relief and recovery for those who have lost so much.
