Yagi, identified by meteorologists as the most powerful typhoon to hit northern Vietnam in 30 years, knocked down bridges, tore roofs off buildings, and damaged factories when it made landfall on Saturday with winds exceeding 149 kilometers (92 miles) per hour.
Nine people died when Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday before weakening to a tropical depression, and at least 50 others have died in the consequent floods and landslides, state media VN Express reported.
Although Typhoon Yagi had been downgraded by Monday morning, that didn't stop it from battering the coast of Vietnam.
Despite the downgrade, Yagi has unleashed severe floods and landslides, primarily across northern regions of the country.
