Typhoon Bualoi death toll rises to 26 in Vietnam, with many missing

The search continued on Tuesday for 22 people still missing people following Typhoon Bualoi that caused flooding and landslides in Vietnam and has killed at least 26. Eight fishermen are among those unaccounted for, as well as four members of the same family — a father, a mother and two children — in Tuyen Quang province who were buried when a landslide struck their house, state media said. Rainfall topped 30 centimeters (nearly a foot) in parts of Vietnam, including the capital, Hanoi, over the past 24 hours, the national weather agency said Tuesday. It warned that heavy downpours would continue. The prolonged rain triggered flash floods and landslides that cut off roads and isolated communities from the northern mountains of Son La and Lao Cai provinces to central Nghe An province.
