2 Killed, 17 Missing Amid Vietnam Typhoon

Two people have died and 17 remain missing after Typhoon Bualoi swept through central Vietnam, bringing heavy rain, high waves, and widespread power outages, according to local authorities.

One victim drowned in floodwaters in Hue, while a falling tree killed another. 

Seventeen fishermen are still unaccounted for after two boats sank off Quang Tri province.

The typhoon made landfall with wind speeds of 117 kilometers per hour before weakening to 74 kilometers per hour as it moved towards Laos.

The storm damaged 245 homes, inundated more than 3,400 acres of farmland, and forced the evacuation of over 28,000 residents. Four airports were closed, and hundreds of flights were suspended.
