Four members of the same family have died in a landslide triggered by super typhoon Yagi after the powerful storm ripped through Vietnam.<\/p>\n
State media said the tragedy struck in the mountainous Hoa Binh province of northern Vietnam at around midnight local time (Saturday 18:00 BST).<\/p>\n
A 51-year-old man was able to escape but his wife, daughter and two grandchildren were buried when the hillside <\/b>collapsed onto their house. Their bodies were recovered later, AFP news agency reported. <\/p>\n
Y<\/i>agi, Asia’s most powerful typhoon this year, has killed at least 14 and injured 176 others, according to Vietnamese state media. It has now been downgraded to a tropical depression. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But authorities are warning about the continued risk of flooding and landslides as the storm moves westwards. <\/p>\n
After it made landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday, <\/b>the storm hit Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces with winds of up to 203 km\/h (126 mph), the Indo-Pacific Tropical Cyclone Warning Center said.<\/p>\n
It lifted roofs from buildings and uprooted trees, leading to power outages in the capital, Hanoi. <\/p>\n
State media said three people died in the northern Quang Ninh province on Saturday, with another killed in Hai Duong, near Hanoi. Fishermen are missing at sea. <\/p>\n
In the port city of Hai Phong, several areas were under half a metre (1.6 feet) of flood waters on Sunday, with power lines and electric poles damaged, according to AFP.<\/p>\n
Metal roof sheets and commercial sign boards were seen flying across the city of two million, which has faced the brunt of the storm.<\/p>\n
Power outages hit parts of Hai Phong <\/b>– home to multinational factories – on Saturday, while four of north Vietnam’s airports have suspended operations for much of the day.<\/p>\n
At the Hai Au boat lock on Tuan Chau island, north of Hai Phong, at least 23 boats were seriously damaged or sunk, according to local residents. <\/p>\n
51-year-old sailor Pham Van Thanh, told AFP he had never experienced such a strong and violent typhoon.<\/p>\n
He said all the crew had remained on board his tourist boat since Friday to stop it from sinking.<\/p>\n
“The wind was pushing from our back, with so much pressure that no boat could stand,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n
“Then the first one sank. Then one after another.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
Nearly 50,000 people have been evacuated from coastal towns in Vietnam, with authorities issuing a warning to remain indoors.<\/p>\n
Schools have been closed in 12 northern provinces, including Hanoi.<\/p>\n
State media published images of motorcyclists in Hanoi sheltering under bridges to escape the heavy rain.<\/p>\n
Duong The Hung, a restaurant owner in Ha Long Bay, a Unesco world Heritage site, said his business’s signs had all fallen off.<\/p>\n
“The ceiling has collapsed. The metal roof needs repairs. The damage is severe.”<\/p>\n
The storm is expected to move into northernmost Laos by Sunday evening. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
Before hitting Vietnam on Saturday, the typhoon brought devastation to the Chinese island of Hainan – a popular tourist destination dubbed China’s Hawaii – and to the Philippines, killing at least 24 people and injuring dozens of others, AFP reported. <\/p>\n
On Friday, China evacuated some 400,000 people in Hainan island. Trains, boats and flights were suspended, while schools were shut.<\/p>\n
Local media there reported widespread power outages, with about 830,000 households affected. Valuable crops have also been wiped out.<\/p>\n
A super typhoon is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. <\/p>\n
Scientists say typhoons and hurricanes are becoming stronger, more frequent <\/b>and staying over land for longer due to climate change. Warmer ocean waters mean storms pick up more energy, which leads to higher wind speeds.<\/p>\n
A warmer atmosphere also holds more moisture, which can lead to more intense rainfall.<\/p>\n
