BELOW transcript for first video: 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 0:19 But the rain kept falling. The storm 0:21 moved inland and the destruction only 0:23 grew. 0:30 Born from the ocean, Kajiki tested 0:32 Southeast Asia like never before. In 0:35 late August 2025, what began as a 0:38 disturbance in the South China Sea 0:40 quickly grew into Typhoon Kajiki. 0:48 a powerful category 2 equivalent system 0:51 with winds nearing 130 to 150 km per 0:55 hour. Vietnam was first in its path and 0:58 nothing would stand in its way. 1:09 On August 25th, Kajiki slammed into 1:12 Hatin and Yan provinces of northern 1:15 Vietnam. Trees snapped like matchsticks. 1:23 Power lines crumpled into the streets. 1:25 And flood waters tore through 1:26 neighborhoods. 1:32 Hanoi streets turned into rivers. Cars 1:35 floated like toys and whole villages 1:37 were swallowed. 1:43 By the end of its first night on land, 1:45 at least three people were dead, a 1:47 number that would climb to seven by the 1:49 time the storm passed. The destruction 1:52 was immense. 1:54 [Music] 2:03 Over 10,000 homes and offices were 2:05 damaged or destroyed. More than 86,000 2:08 hectares of crops, primarily rice and 2:11 corn, were wiped out just weeks before 2:13 harvest. 2:20 In Hatin province alone, officials put 2:23 the losses at 3.2 trillion dong or about 2:27 114 million US. 2:29 Families who had spent an entire year 2:31 cultivating their fields watched them 2:33 drown in a matter of hours. 2:39 Tens of thousands were displaced, 2:41 crowded into schools, temples, and 2:44 government buildings turned into 2:45 makeshift shelters. Soldiers waited 2:47 through flood waters to evacuate 2:49 survivors while helicopters dropped 2:52 supplies into cut off districts 2:57 where landslides had buried highways. 2:59 Kajiki weakened after landfall, but its 3:02 fury was far from over. 3:11 Instead of racing inland and losing 3:13 power like most storms, Kajiki stalled. 3:16 It began to feed off monsoon moisture, 3:19 turning into a rain machine that refused 3:20 to stop. 3:30 Entire provinces endured 300 to 400 3:33 millimeters of rainfall in less than a 3:35 day. Three times their usual monthly 3:37 total. Rivers swelled beyond their 3:40 banks. Mudslides roared down bare 3:42 hillsides stripped of trees, crushing 3:45 homes and blocking rescue efforts. Every 3:48 hour, the situation worsened. By August 3:51 27th, Kajiki's remnants pushed into 3:53 northern Thailand. The winds had 3:55 weakened but the rain was merciless. 3:58 Mmai, Chiang Rai, Mi Hong, Nan and 4:01 Lampang bore the brunt. 4:11 12 provinces were placed on red alert as 4:13 valleys filled with water and slopes 4:15 collapsed. In Shiang Mai, a landslide 4:18 crushed homes, killing four people 4:20 overnight. In Mi Hong Sun, another 4:23 victim drowned as rivers tore through 4:25 entire neighborhoods. 4:35 By August 28th, the official toll had 4:37 risen to five dead, 15 injured, and 4:40 seven missing. Kajiki shattered 4:43 Thailand's infrastructure. Highways 4:45 buckled, landslides sealed mountain 4:47 passes, and bridges were ripped away by 4:49 raging torrents. 4:57 Villages were isolated for days. In 4:59 Xiang Mai alone, more than 1,000 5:02 residents were evacuated. Many carried 5:04 to safety by boat as soldiers waited 5:06 through chest high water. 5:16 Farmland suffered catastrophic losses. 5:19 Rice patties turned into vast brown 5:21 lakes. Coffee and corn plantations 5:23 vanished beneath mud and debris. 5:26 Thousands of ray of crops were destroyed 5:34 with damages reaching into the hundreds 5:36 of millions of bot. For farming 5:39 families, the storm was not a passing 5:40 disaster, but the beginning of years of 5:43 debt, hunger, and uncertainty. Relief 5:46 efforts were overwhelmed. Soldiers and 5:48 volunteers pulled families from rooftops 5:50 and fied food and drinking water to cut 5:52 off villages. 6:00 The Thai Red Cross and UNICEF 6:02 distributed medicine, blankets, and 6:04 sanitation kits. On social media, # pray 6:08 for Thailand trended as international 6:10 aid arrived. Neighboring countries 6:13 pledged support, recalling Thailand's 6:15 assistance during their own disasters. 6:17 Yet frustration grew. Environmental 6:19 groups warned the devastation was not 6:22 only the work of nature. 6:31 Decades of deforestation left hillsides 6:34 prone to collapse. Unregulated 6:36 construction blocked river channels. 6:38 Clogged drains in major cities turned 6:40 heavy rain into flash floods. Kajiki's 6:44 force was natural, but human neglect 6:46 magnified its impact. The suffering was 6:48 visible everywhere. 6:54 Families huddled in crowded shelters, 6:56 grieving for those lost. Farmers 6:59 wandered across ruined fields, watching 7:01 their years harvest sink into wasteland. 7:04 Children clung to parents as aid workers 7:06 handed out rations. Hospitals filled 7:09 with the injured from landslides and 7:10 collapsed homes. Aid groups warned of 7:13 waterborne disease in overcrowded 7:15 shelters. No outbreak had begun yet, but 7:18 the threat hung heavy over every camp. 7:21 Kajiki left Thailand scarred by water, 7:29 by loss, and by mistakes too long 7:31 ignored. By August 29th, rains began to 7:34 ease, but Typhoon Kajiki's toll across 7:37 Vietnam and Thailand had risen to at 7:39 least eight dead, dozens injured, and 7:42 thousands displaced. Homes, roads, and 7:45 farmland lay in ruins with damages 7:47 climbing into the billions of dollars. 7:54 Meteorologists noted the storm's unusual 7:56 behavior, its slow pace and relentless 7:59 rainfall, mirroring patterns linked to 8:02 climate change. By August 30th, the 8:04 skies cleared, but devastation remained. 8:08 Families in Hatin picked through flood 8:10 wrecked homes while survivors in Shiang 8:12 Mai mourned loved ones lost in 8:14 landslides. Kajiki had passed. 8:22 But its warning for the future was 8:24 unmistakable. Kajiki was not just a 8:27 storm. It was a warning. Homes can be 8:30 rebuilt, but lessons must be learned. 8:32 The question remains, will we prepare 8:34 before the next disaster strikes? 8:40 If this report gave you insight into 8:43 something the headlines overlook, don't 8:45 scroll past.
