The eye of the storm reached the northern tip of Hainan island on Friday, with projections showing its movement towards Vietnam and Laos. As Hainan braces for the impact, over 400,000 residents have been evacuated, and key infrastructure like airports and bridges have been shut down. The storm’s intensity has forced businesses to halt operations and disrupted daily life in the region.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency’s forecast indicates that Yagi will continue its path towards northern Vietnam, affecting not only Vietnam but also Laos and Thailand. With wind gusts exceeding 160mph, the storm has been classified as a Category 5 equivalent typhoon, posing a significant threat to the region.

AccuWeather’s rainfall forecast predicts up to 16 inches of rain in southern China, Hainan Island, northern Vietnam, northern Laos, and northern Thailand. The potential for widespread flooding and landslides remains a major concern as the storm progresses.

In the Philippines, where the storm is known as Enteng, at least 16 lives have been lost due to heavy rainfall and landslides. The damage inflicted by Yagi has been severe, with reports of landslides, floods, and strong winds causing devastation in various regions.
