Super Typhoon Yagi directly hit Northern Vietnam as one of the most intense ever.  Yagi made landfall over two major coastal cities of Hải Phòng and Quảng Ninh, Vietnam, on 7 September 2024.  Torrential rains carried by Yagi confounded by water release from upstream dams in multiple rivers led to extensive flooding wreaking havoc and inflicting deaths and destructions in many areas.
