Dozens of flights have been delayed or canceled during the weekend.

The central province of Ha Tinh was struck by a power failure after the power lines were shot dead by the storm. Torrential rains also flooded the fields of cultures.

The typhoon should bring 200 to 350 mm of rain in northern Vietnam between Sunday and Tuesday, reported the state media. In some parts of the country, precipitation could reach 500 mm.
