The wind was pushing from our back, with so much pressure that no boat could stand,
I have been a sailor for more than 20 years and have never experienced such a strong and violent typhoon,
The storm has devastated the city. Trees fell down on top of people's houses, cars and people on the street,
By far, it was the strongest storm that we have ever weathered out,
All houses with tin rooftops in my neighborhood have been blown away,
Strong winds in Hanoi will have a major impact on people's lives,
I don't even recognize my town,
The wind is strong enough to blow a person over, ... I’ve never seen a storm like this, you can’t drive in these winds.”
I am going to stay inside and try and stay safe with my family,
It has been years since I witnessed a typhoon this big,
It was scary. I stayed indoors, after locking all my windows. However, the sound of the wind and the rain was unbelievable,
