Typhoon Yagi, Vietnam's most powerful storm in 30 years, has devastated northern regions, causing over 127 deaths and leaving 54 people missing. The storm, which struck on Saturday, brought winds of nearly 150 km/h (92 mph), flooding, landslides, and extensive damage. Over 1.5 million people are without power, and thousands are stranded. The Phong Chau bridge collapse in Phu Tho province was captured on dashcam, illustrating the storm's severity. Although Yagi has weakened, it continues to cause disruptions as it moves westward. The storm previously killed 24 people in China and the Philippines.
