"A powerful typhoon has battered Vietnam's coastal provinces, with strong winds and rains felling trees and tearing the roofs off houses.

"Schools and airports were closed and almost 600,000 people across the country were ordered to leave their homes ahead of #TyphoonKajiki's arrival on Monday afternoon in the coastal province of #HaTinh.

"One evacuee in Vietnam's #NgheAn province told news agency Reuters he could see 'waves as tall as two metres, and water [#flooding] the roads around us', adding that it was 'terrifying'.

"It comes less than a year after the country was hit by Typhoon Yagi - its most powerful storm in 30 years - which killed 300 people in Vietnam alone."

Typhoon #Kajiki 3D tour using Suomi satellite imagery from 24 Aug while the storm was intensifying next to Hainan on route to Vietnam. #TyphoonKajiki

Typhoon #Kajiki has been intensifying, perhaps now category 3 on the Saffir Simpson Scale. It poses a significant danger to #Vietnam with landfall predicted between 0000 UTC and 1200 UTC Monday 25 Aug. Forecast quite tricky due to multiple factors, particularly complicated terrain #TyphoonKajiki

Just in partial slice through Typhoon #Kajiki by Terra MODIS satellite shows the core strengthening and shifted south to pass south of Hainan towards Vietnam, will have video update later today #YouStormOutlook #TyphoonKajiki

Tropical Storm #Kajiki is intensifying in the South China Sea but its future strength depends on two big wild cards, the rugged terrain of Hainan and the shallow waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, we check it out in todays video #YouStormOutlook #TyphoonKajiki https://youtu.be/iWAQSEcu76Y
