On the evening of September 7, storm No. 3 (Yagi) made landfall in Hanoi with terrible winds and heavy rain, causing much damage.
After the storm made landfall with strong winds and heavy rain, many streets in Hanoi such as Nguyen Tuan, Nguyen Trai, and some points on Ring Road 3 were flooded up to 50 cm deep. Due to heavy rain and gusty winds caused by storm No. 3, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam decided to extend the temporary closure of Noi Bai airport. Specifically, the temporary closure of Noi Bai airport will last until 24:00 on September 7, 3 hours later than the previous plan. Some apartment buildings in Hanoi were damaged by the storm; large corrugated iron roofs were blown off, trees were scattered, and some places lost power.
