Typhoon Noru destroyed many houses and caused power outages in many parts of central Vietnam on September 27, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee.

In Da Nang, Vietnam's third largest city, high-rise buildings shook as the storm made landfall early on September 27, with winds up to about 120 kilometers per hour, according to the national weather agency.

More than 300,000 people in Vietnam had to stay overnight in shelters after experts predicted Noru would be one of the biggest storms ever to hit Vietnam./.
