Weakened Typhoon Talim hits Vietnam after passing through China

But Vietnam’s second-biggest airport in Hanoi closed on Tuesday, disrupting hundreds of flights according to local media reports.

Authorities warned that heavy rains, flooding and landslides could still pose a risk in northern provinces after the storm passed.

China’s state news agency Xinhua said Tuesday that nearly 230,000 people were evacuated from their homes in Guangdong ahead of the expected landfall.

Forecasters said strong winds and heavy rains would lash Guangxi until Wednesday, issuing a warning for possible landslides, while authorities closed schools and suspended dozens of train services.

Nine people were injured in Hong Kong during the brief typhoon period, according to the financial hub’s Hospital Authority, while around 112 people sought refuge in temporary shelters.

Ferry services resumed on Monday afternoon and the stock exchange reopened on Tuesday after a storm closure, but city beaches carried red-flag warnings of unsafe conditions for swimmers as huge waves pounded the shoreline.

Laos was also expecting heavy rain and strong winds through Tuesday as Talim moved west, Xinhua reported.
