Typhoon Bualoi tore through Vietnam's coast, killing at least 13 people, injuring 46, and causing significant damage with its strong winds and rains, which damaged homes, snapped power links, and flooded roads, the government said on Monday.

According to the national weather agency, after having made landfall early on Monday and having whipped up waves as much as 8 m (26 ft) high as it moved along the northern central coast, Bualoi weakened into a depression heading for Laos.

The Vietnamese government's disaster management agency reported that among the missing are fishermen whose boats were washed away off the province of Quang Tri, while contact was lost woth another fishing boat. "I stayed awake the whole night, fearing the door would be pulled off by strong winds," Ho Van Quynh of Nghe An province told Reuters.

🌀 #TyphoonBualoi: By Sept. 29 afternoon, 13 people were confirmed dead, 13 others remained missing and 46 were injured, with an additional eight fishermen reported out of contact at sea – bringing the total number of casualties to 80.

Before the typhoon hit, the government evacuated more than 28,500 people, while the closure of four airports in central provinces delayed or cancelled hundreds of flights. According to the Vietnam News Agency, strong winds in the province of Ninh Binh killed nine people and injured seven.

The disaster management agency said that one person died in floodwaters in Hue city and a falling tree killed another in Thanh Hoa province. According to the government, Bualoi has damaged more than 44,000 homes, inundated nearly 6,000 hectares (14,800 acres) of rice and other crops, and cut access to several areas.

It mentioned no major damage to industrial properties, though large factories in or near the typhoon's path included some owned by Foxconn, Formosa Plastics, Luxshare, and Vinfast.

Since Saturday, the cyclone has triggered heavy rains across most of Vietnam, which prompted authorities to warn of a high risk of severe floods and landslides, and according to the government, water rose to alarming levels in rivers and reservoirs in the provinces of Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Thanh Hoa, with tens of thousands of families also hit by power blackouts.
