In the early hours of Monday morning, the tranquil coastal communes of Ninh Bình Province were transformed into scenes of devastation as violent tornadoes, spawned by Typhoon Bualoi, tore through the region.The tornadoes carved a path of destruction through Thịnh Long, Quỹ Nhất, and Hải Anh communes, toppling homes, snapping power lines, and breaching critical sea dikes.

Watch: Nature Damage report September 29 2025 Chaos in Vietnam Today! Giant Tornado Typhoon Bualoi Devastating Homes in Ninh Binh

In Thịnh Long Commune, the first to be hit, residents were jolted awake by the roar of wind and the sound of corrugated iron roofs being torn from houses. One resident, 62-year-old Nguyễn Văn Hùng, described the moment: “It was like a giant hand ripping through the village. I saw my neighbor’s roof fly into the sky like paper.”

The worst toll came in Quỹ Nhất Commune, where several homes collapsed under the force of the wind. Local officials confirmed four deaths, including one person who succumbed to injuries later in hospital. In Hải Anh Commune, the tornadoes toppled dozens of electricity poles and flattened homes. One person was killed when their house collapsed, and several others were injured. The destruction of power infrastructure plunged the area into darkness, complicating rescue efforts. Across Ninh Bình, flags flew at half-mast as families mourned their loved ones. Makeshift memorials appeared outside destroyed homes, with candles and incense burning in tribute. Schools and businesses remained closed as the province observed a day of mourning.

Typhoon Bualoi, a Category 4 tropical cyclone born in the western Pacific, has carved a trail of destruction across Southeast Asia, leaving at least 38 people dead, hundreds injured, and tens of thousands displaced. With sustained winds exceeding 215 km/h and gusts topping 260 km/h, Bualoi’s fury was felt from the rice paddies of northern Vietnam to the coastal provinces of the Philippines and the flood-prone deltas of Thailand. Bualoi slammed into eastern Luzon on September 27, bringing 400 mm of rain in just 24 hours. Flash floods inundated Quezon Province, while landslides buried homes in the Sierra Madre mountains. In Manila, storm surges breached seawalls, flooding the historic Intramuros district and displacing over 12,000 residents.

11:24 The National Disaster Risk Reduction and 11:26 Management Council, NDRRMC, 11:30 confirmed 18 fatalities, including five 11:33 children swept away by flood waters in 11:35 Mikina. 11:38 Power outages affected 3.2 million 11:41 households, and telecommunications 11:43 collapsed in several provinces. 11:47 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared 11:50 a state of calamity. Mobilizing military 11:53 units for rescue and relief. We are 11:55 facing a national emergency. He said, 11:58 "Our priority is saving lives and 12:01 restoring dignity." 12:04 By September 29th, Baloy's remnants 12:07 reached Thailand where heavy rains 12:10 overwhelmed the Chow Fria River Basin. 12:12 Aayutya, the ancient capital, saw 12:15 kneedeep flooding in its UNESCO World 12:17 Heritage zones. In Nikon, San levies 12:20 failed, submerging entire neighborhoods. 12:26 The Thai meteorological department 12:28 issued flash flood warnings for 22 12:30 provinces. At least 14 people were 12:33 reported dead, mostly from drowning and 12:36 electrocution. Bangkok's drainage 12:38 system, already strained by urban 12:40 expansion, buckled under the deluge. 12:45 Prime Minister Stretha Thavverson urged 12:48 calm and resilience. We must adapt to a 12:51 new climate reality. Our cities must be 12:53 smarter, our systems stronger. 12:58 Across the region, over 120,000 people 13:02 have been evacuated. Schools, hospitals, 13:05 and community centers have been 13:07 converted into temporary shelters. 13:09 Relief agencies, including ASEAN's 13:12 Coordinating Center for Humanitarian 13:14 Assistance, AHA Center, are distributing 13:17 food, water, and medical supplies. 13:22 Infrastructure damage is estimated at 13:24 $1.8 billion with agriculture bearing 13:28 the brunt. Rice patties, shrimp farms, 13:31 and fruit orchards have been inundated, 13:33 threatening food security and 13:35 livelihoods. 13:38 Typhoon Waloy's intensity and erratic 13:41 behavior have reignited debates about 13:43 climate adaptation. Scientists point to 13:46 warming oceans, shifting jetreams, and 13:49 rising humidity as key drivers of super 13:52 typhoons. 13:55 This is not an anomaly. It's a preview, 13:57 said Dr. Winn Hong Min, a climate 14:00 scientist based in Hanoi. We're seeing 14:02 storms that intensify faster, travel 14:05 farther, and behave more unpredictably. 14:10 The World Meteorological Organization, 14:13 WMO, has called for enhanced regional 14:16 forecasting systems and crossber 14:18 disaster coordination. Typhoons don't 14:20 respect borders. Our response must be 14:23 equally unified, said WO Secretary 14:26 General Pet Terry Tales. 14:30 Amid the devastation, stories of heroism 14:33 have emerged. In Quesan, a teacher used 14:37 a surfboard to ferry stranded students 14:39 to safety. In Ninben, teenagers formed a 14:42 human chain to rescue an elderly woman 14:44 trapped in her flooded home. In Aayutya, 14:48 monks open temple gates to shelter 14:50 displaced families. 14:53 But the losses are profound. In Manila, 14:57 a mother wept over the ruins of her 14:59 home. "We built this with our hands. Now 15:02 it's gone," she said. In Vietnam, 15:05 farmers watched helplessly as 15:07 floodwaters swallowed their harvest. 15:09 "It's not just rice, it's our future," 15:12 said one. 15:15 Governments across Southeast Asia have 15:17 pledged emergency funds and long-term 15:20 recovery plans. The Philippines has 15:22 allocated 10 billion Cuban pesos for 15:24 reconstruction. 15:28 Vietnam is deploying engineers to 15:30 reinforce dikes and rebuild homes. 15:32 Thailand is fast-tracking urban drainage 15:35 upgrades. 15:38 International aid is flowing in. UNICEF, 15:42 Red Cross, and Medicine Sands Frontier 15:45 are on the ground. The United Nations 15:47 has launched a $50 million appeal to 15:50 support affected communities. 15:54 Typhoon Gualo has exposed systemic 15:56 vulnerabilities, 15:58 aging infrastructure, inadequate 16:00 forecasting, and fragile ecosystems. But 16:03 it has also revealed resilience, 16:06 solidarity, and the human spirit's 16:08 capacity to endure. 16:12 Experts urge a shift from reactive to 16:14 proactive strategies, climate resilient 16:17 housing, early warning systems, and 16:20 community-based disaster education. We 16:22 must learn from Baloi, said Dr. Lon, not 16:26 just to rebuild, but to rethink. 16:30 As the skies clear and waters recede, 16:33 Southeast Asia faces a sobering truth. 16:36 Typhoon Baloy was not just a storm. It 16:39 was a signal. a signal that the climate 16:41 is changing, that vulnerabilities are 16:43 growing, and that resilience must be 16:46 built not just in infrastructure, but in 16:48 hearts and minds. 16:52 From the shattered coastlines of Luzon 16:54 to the flooded deltas of Vietnam and 16:56 Thailand, the region mourns, rebuilds, 16:59 and reflects. And in that reflection 17:01 lies hope, not just for recovery, but 17:05 for transformation. 17:14 Hey, 17:28 heat. 17:53 Well, my phone 17:56 [Music]
