The death toll in Vietnam from typhoon Yagi and the landslides and flash floods it triggered rose to 254 on Friday, authorities said, as flood waters receded and search efforts pressed on.
The Southeast Asian country is still reeling from the strongest storm to hit Asia this year which made landfall on its northeastern coast on Saturday. More than 820 people have been injured and 82 are still missing, according to the state disaster management agency.

I can well understand the severity of this typhoon in Vietnam, Charlie... It was 2-years ago, almost to this day when hurricane IAN ripped up Southwest Florida with 150mph winds & a 18 ft storm surge went over Sanibel & Captiva Islands as well as Fort Myers Beach! It devastated the area and it's still not back to normal!

Mother Nature is an unforgiving wench. I just don't know if we can ever prevent these type of disasters due to weather.
