Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in Vietnam as powerful Typhoon Noru made landfall in the country two days after the storm devastated and inundated homes in the Philippines.
The storm reached the coast of Central Vietnam on Sept. 27 at 117 kilometers per hour (73 mph), mainly in Thua Thien-Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, and Quang Ngai. An unspecified number of schools and shops have been closed.
