Hanoi streets left in disarray after super typhoon swept away

The prolonged, powerful winds caused when super typhoon Yagi or Storm No.3 hit Hanoi on the evening of September 7 toppled many trees, leaving the city's streets in devastation.

The typhoon bringing maximum winds at level 10 (102km/hour) and gusts reaching level 12 left Hanoi’s streets in chaos with falling trees, debris, and flooding somewhere.
