Extreme weather events are wreaking havoc across the globe, with severe impacts reported in multiple regions. In northern Vietnam, Typhoon Yagi has caused catastrophic damage, with at least 155 confirmed dead and dozens missing following flash flooding that buried homes in mud and debris. The hardest-hit area is Lao Cai province, known for its tourism attractions like Sapa. Experts attribute the increasing intensity of such storms to climate change.

In the U.S., Hurricane Francine is approaching the Louisiana coast, prompting residents to prepare for potential damage. Forecasters are warning of high winds and a storm surge that could lead to significant flooding in a region still recovering from recent hurricanes. Preparations are underway as communities brace for the storm’s impact.

Meanwhile, wildfires are burning through California and the Amazon, with the latter also facing severe drought. In Nigeria, flooding has caused widespread disruption, further underscoring the global scale of extreme weather events impacting diverse regions.
