Super Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm in the South China Sea in 30 years, is heading towards northern Vietnam, causing widespread preparations and evacuations. Hanoi residents rush to stock up on supplies as the typhoon approaches.

The storm has already made landfall in Hainan, China, causing significant damage. Hong Kong, Vietnam, and southern Chinese provinces have suspended flights, trains, and boats, and closed schools and offices in anticipation of Yagi's arrival.

Vietnam has deployed over 450,000 military personnel to combat the storm. Tourists are canceling their plans, and hundreds of hotel reservations and tours have been canceled.

The storm is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding, with coastal areas at greatest risk. Authorities warn of potential landslides and disruptions to transportation.

The impact of the storm in Hanoi is expected to be significant, with airports suspending services and the risk of landslides and flooding in the city and surrounding districts. Yagi's rapid intensification is a rare occurrence, and its strength is attributed to warmer oceans due to climate change.
