Typhoon Kalmaegi: Devastating Storm Wreaks Havoc in Philippines, Vietnam, and Beyond
Typhoon Kalmaegi's Deadly Path
Typhoon Kalmaegi, one of the most lethal storms this year, has devastated Southeast Asia, leaving a grim toll across multiple countries. After wreaking havoc in the Philippines with torrential rains and deadly floods that claimed over 114 lives, Kalmaegi barreled into Vietnam. There, the storm’s fierce winds of up to 149 km/h uprooted trees, destroyed homes, and caused three confirmed deaths, highlighting the storm’s continuing threat to the region.
Impact Across Vietnam and Beyond
Vietnam faced severe disruptions as Kalmaegi tore through central provinces, forcing mass evacuations and leaving communities vulnerable. The government has mobilized relief efforts to ensure affected populations receive aid, amid ongoing challenges. The storm has since moved westward toward Cambodia and Laos, raising concerns for further destruction. Authorities remain vigilant as these countries prepare for potential impacts, underscoring the wide-reaching effects of Kalmaegi’s destructive force.
