Vietnamese coastal provinces on emergency footing as Typhoon Wipha nears
People in the coastal province of Quang Ninh in Vietnam are rushing to strengthen their roofs and doorways on Monday, July 21, as Typhoon Wipha approaches and is expected to make landfall early on Tuesday, July 22.
Vietnam's Prime Minister put coastal provinces on emergency footing for Typhoon Wipha, saying it could cause flooding and landslides, as airlines cancelled flights ahead of the storm's expected landfall early on Tuesday.
Wipha is expected to complicate the search for people still missing after a tourist boat capsized during a thunderstorm in Halong Bay in northern Vietnam on Saturday, killing more than 30 people.
