VOV.VN - Powerful typhoon Bualoi has brought heavy, prolonged rainfall and strong gusty winds, toppling countless trees, tearing off roofs, and snapping power poles across central Vietnam, especially in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Thanh Hoa provinces.

Typhoon Bualoi, packing winds of more than 130km/h, makes landfall in Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces early on September 29, knocking down thousands of trees.

In the former city of Vinh, streets are littered with fallen trees this morning, VOV.VN has learned.

Strong winds even bring down century-old trees that have weathered past storms.

Similar scenes of downed trees are reported across various parts of Nghe An province.
