Tropical Storm Wipha made a second landfall in Vietnam on Tuesday, after lashing China earlier, bringing torrential rain and strong winds as authorities rushed to evacuate low-lying areas and warned of possible floods and landslides.
The storm came ashore in northern Vietnam around 10am local time in Hung Yen and Ninh Binh provinces with sustained winds reaching up to 102 kmph (63 mph), according to Vietnam’s national weather agency.
