Evacuated residents, speaking to the AFP news agency, have expressed their shock about the scale of Typhoon Kajiki’s forecasted impact.
“Normally we get storms and flooding, but never this big,” 52-year-old Nguyen Thi Nhan tells AFP.
Separately, Le Manh Tung, 66, is sheltering at an indoor sports stadium in Vinh.
“I have never heard of a typhoon of this big scale coming to our city,” he says.
“I am a bit scared, but then we have to accept it because it’s nature – we cannot do anything.”
