Wind and rain lash Vietnam as Typhoon Doksuri hits
Typhoon Doksuri lashed central Vietnam on Friday, tearing roofs from houses, knocking out power and causing localised flooding, in the country’s most powerful storm in years. Nearly 80,000 people have been evacuated from coastal regions in preparation for Doksuri. Winds exceeded 130 km per hour, according to Vietnam’s meteorological agency. The state news agency said the roofs had been blown from 260 houses in the ancient city of Hue. Electricity was knocked out in parts of Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces after the wind brought down power lines along with trees and billboards. Airlines said 46 flights were cancelled between the capital, Hanoi, in northern Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City, the commercial hub in the south. <br/>
