Typhoon Molave, the ninth storm to hit the East Sea this year, at 08:00 a.m. on October 26 was passing through the northeastern part of Song Tu Tay island belonging to the Truong Sa archipelago, with winds reaching maximum speeds of 135 kph.
Over the course of the next 24 hours the typhoon is expected to move west with winds up to 150 kph near its eye. Molave is forecast to sustain its strength and batter Vietnam’s central coast on October 28 before weakening into a tropical low depression.
Typhoon Molave had originally struck the Philippines early on October 26, forcing approximately 25,000 people in the Bicol region to flee their homes amid the prospect of landslides and flash floods occurring.
In response, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc chaired an urgent online meeting on
October 26 to devise plans to mitigate the impact of the storm.
