Typhoon
Thursday, September 5, 2024:
Typhoon Yagi is currently a Category 4 storm with winds over 200 km/hour in the eyewall. It looks like it will intensify more and probably become a Category 5 storm today or tomorrow. It is located East of Hainan and will cross the Chinese peninsula late on Friday. It's a very powerful storm and the eye is becoming well pronounced.
We may start feeling effects soon as there are some offshoots from this system spinning off in multiple directions. Do not mistake these for the real storm, which will make landfall in Quang Ninh on Saturday. I can give you a better estimate tomorrow, but my advice right now is to go home early on Friday and then 'batten the hatches' as they say.
In Hanoi, although it will be much weaker, you should prepare for heavy rain and wind starting with gentle winds late Friday and then intensifying winds as the storm creeps closer - lasting about 24 hours, then followed by at least a few more days of rain. Stay home Saturday and Sunday. Don't risk Saturday night out. Better safe than sorry.
Winds could still be around 75-100 km/hour in Hanoi, meaning trees will be uprooted, debris will fly, buildings will be damaged. The Vietnamese government has mobilised thousands of troops for a Level 4 Natural Disaster Response along the coastline. Evacuation orders are coming. Please follow local advice and tour operators for more specific information.
Hanoi could receive some urban flooding damage, due to the intensity and prolonged heavy rain.
Hanoi is not used to strong winds - stay off the streets because of the danger of uprooted trees, flying debris and broken branches, etc.
This is a large typhoon, with the potential to disrupt and displace a lot of people. Please consider the vulnerable communities that will be affected soon.
Today - very hot and 'the calm before...' (37), with potential of a thunderstorm offshoot from the main storm.
Friday - still very hot (36) with cooler winds approaching later in the afternoon and evening.
Saturday - Heavy rain and WIND, starting in morning gradually and then intensifying throughout the day
Sunday - Steady rain, wind tapering off, much cooler temps
This forecast is not 'exact', and trajectories do change, typhoons accelerate and slow down as well. Just be mindful that it is coming.
No. I’m in the Mekong now. Just got to Cần Thơ.

This one looked abandoned.
I rarely ever go through this one. This is my 4th time at this one. I always go to Bavet or Phnom Penh. This one was terrible.
Laundry is super cheap.
100K, how much is that in $?
$4. It’s how it works. Even Vietnamese put $ in their passports. This is a terrible border with 7 casinos. The other ones are great. Nobody used this one. Lots of drugs being smuggled here. It’s a hub.
