In Vietnam, Bualoi made landfall as a typhoon late on Sunday, generating winds of 130kmh.
At least 13 people were killed in Vietnam, while a search is ongoing for 20 others, disaster authorities said in an online update.
More than 44,200 houses were damaged, including those with roofs torn off, mostly in the central Ha Tinh province.
At least 800 houses were flooded, and nearly 6,000ha of crops were inundated, according to the update.
Images published by AFP showed corrugated metal roofs blown off buildings and household debris strewn across saturated streets in Vietnam’s coastal Nghe An province.
“The wind blew my roof to the sky and then it fell down, breaking everything. I had to cover my head and rushed to my neighbour’s house to be safe,” Trinh Thi Le, 71, in central Quang Tri province, was quoted as saying by state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper.
POWERFUL STORMS
At least nine people were killed when a typhoon-related whirlwind swept through northern Ninh Binh province early on Monday, according to the local disaster agency.
One person was killed in the province of Hue and another in Thanh Hoa, while about 20 were missing, local and national disaster authorities reported.
Among those unaccounted for were nine people whose fishing boats were lost at sea on Sunday night after their vessels came loose from their moorings during strong winds and currents, police said.
