Vietnam's central coast is bracing for impact as Typhoon Kajiki – the 13th named storm of 2023 – charges toward land with winds reaching 42 meters per second (that's over 150 km/h! 💨). Satellite data shows the storm's eye hovering just 185 km east of Vinh City as of latest updates.
The Path of the Storm
Moving west-northwest at 15-20 km/h, Kajiki is expected to make landfall between evening and nighttime today near Vinh City. While currently at severe typhoon level, meteorologists predict rapid weakening after it hits land.
Stay Safe, Stay Informed
Local authorities have issued emergency alerts urging residents to:
🔹 Secure loose outdoor items
🔹 Avoid coastal areas
