Hello I’m Daniel,

As some of you may already know, Typhoon Yagi has caused significant damage in northern Vietnam. I’m half-Vietnamese living in Germany and a large part of my family lives in Hanoi.

Since my mom and I don’t earn much here in Germany (I’m a student, she works in retail), I'd like to launch this campaign to collect small donations to help my family and their neighbors rebuild their homes. For the people there, who have built their lives with their own hands, it would mean the world.

Every small donation is appreciated and can be an immense help to the people on the ground.

The funds will primarily be used for the rebuilding of homes and apartments, as well as for food.

A thousand thanks to those who'd like to help us! <3

Some real life footage of the mega typhoon Yagi, the strongest and deadliest typhoon that came to Vietnam in the last 30 years.

I, my home and my family is fine, but it seems like the typhoon is getting stronger by the minutes and hours, with the looming risk of cutting electricity in Hanoi.

I hope it will end soon. Never before I have experience such a typhoon this strong and serious. Stay safe everyone.

Elephants, Thailand’s national animal, have seen their wild population decline in recent decades due to threats from tourism, logging, poaching, and human encroachment on elephant habitats.

Experts estimate the wild elephant population in Thailand has dwindled to 3,000-4,000, a decline from more than 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century.

Emergency workers raced to evacuate thousands of people from severe floods today after Typhoon Yagi swept through northern Vietnam, killing 63 people and leaving 40 others missing. Yagi struck on Saturday with winds in excess of 149 kilometres per hour, making it the most powerful typhoon to hit northern Vietnam in 30 years according to meteorologists. The storm downed bridges, tore roofs off buildings, damaged factories and triggered widespread flooding and landslides. The north of the country – densely populated and a major manufacturing hub for global tech firms including Samsung – is now battling serious flooding, with several communities partially underwater. One-storey homes in parts of Thai Nguyen and Yen Bai cities were almost completely submerged in the early hours of Tuesday, with residents waiting on the roofs for help. Rescue forces were trying to reach residential areas to retrieve old people and children. On social media, relatives of those stuck in floodwater posted desperate pleas for help and supplies. In Hanoi, communities along the swollen and fast-moving Red River, which flows through the capital, were also partially under water, with people forced to evacuate.

Let's see if we can't help out people in Vietnam affected by Typhoon Yagi.

$20 will purchase a packet of food for a family.

$30 will give emergency shelter for a week.

Typhoons In Hong Kong: My Happy & Dreadful Stories

Typhoons coming from the Philippines often devastate Hong Kong in the months from June to September, and even up to October in recent years. The storms can be deadly disasters. I am somehow grateful for that kind of disaster. Even since I was a boy, I have been taught by typhoons that we cannot take life for granted. God is an all-powerful being, able to do things beyond human control.

Typhoon is an intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans. Hong Kong gets typhoons often from those occurring in the western Pacific Ocean near the Philippines. Once the grisly monster reaches the coastal areas of China, it is gradually cut off from its source of heat and water, and will dissipate.

Our childhood is however memories of happy moments because we dared.  When I was a boy, typhoon was the definition of a relaxing “holiday”. School would be closed when signal no. 3 was hoisted and I devoted myself to pleasure at home. I did not know the widespread suffering caused by typhoon outside. Mother took home a lot of canned food as fresh markets were closed. I liked, not realizing its high sodium content and BPA exposure, canned food in those days. My mother seldom cooked such  dishes like canned “twice-cooked pork 回鍋肉”, “braised duck with tangerine peel 陳皮鴨 ”, “braised pork with salted vegetables  梅菜扣肉 ”, and more…

Despite the monstrous typhoon, children enjoyed playing in the rain. Without wearing any raincoat, raindrops trickled down our bodies. We never feared any puddle of water. We jumped, splashed and smashed through the dirty water. Typhoons meant excitement. A kid in Hong Kong will not be complete without such a typhoon experience.

Sticking with your father, mother, brothers and sisters is what makes it a “family”. When we were children, it was easy for families to get together. Now, parents have gone and each sibling has his or her own family. We do not get together like what we did in the past when a typhoon came. Gone are the good old days in which a dinner table could be ringed with family members warmly chatting with each one on the latest storm news coming from the tiny transistor radio in front of us during typhoons. We often did not sleep at night in order to be updated about the typhoon news.

After I have grown up, typhoons are realized to be our enemy. They ravaged millions of homes and killed thousands of people. Recently, Typhoon Yagi affected Hong Kong and battered northern Vietnam, with the death toll rising to more than 300 people. Villages were swept away by landslides and floods. Well, we did not save our world properly. These days, typhoons are now strangely forming closer to the Mainland coast, intensifying more rapidly and staying over land for longer owing to climate change.

I had lived in Tai Tam, on the outskirts of the city, for more than 30 years. I went through a lot all kinds of horrible experience. Tress blew over in the storm. Windows were shattered. My car was pushed by heavy rain to the slope and my body was injured. Things in my house were blown away. I fell on the ground when rain poured down in torrents. Umbrellas flew into the sky. My embarrassing occasion is that I was unable to find any taxi home when a typhoon was approaching Hong Kong. I was trapped in the city and had to call my friend to agree to put me up for the night.

Now, I live in the city and all my dreadful typhoon stories in those years have become just a harmless joke.

When a terrible typhoon signal is hoisted, Hong Kong comes to a standstill. It often results in storm surges, floods and landslides which are deadly and destructive. Strong winds can collapse houses, destroy infrastructure, and even cause shipwrecks. To be cynical, I think there is at least one thing positive about typhoons: we all learn that God is almighty—He created the nature, the environment and all things. The living things, including humans, are simply the Earth’s dust. But, we keep selfishly polluting and causing more catastrophes…

Viscerality

I am doing a news editor gig at the moment. For over a week now, our news cycle has been dominated by Typhoon Yagi and the ensuing destruction in the North of Vietnam, and rightly so. This is the worst disaster to have directly struck me, in more than one way, in my living memory. Coverage of the event is necessary, helpful and ethical; not only to those directly affected, but also to the rest of the Vietnamese-speaking audience, whose disaster relief efforts have also been a significant part of the coverage.

It would, however, be unbecoming of me to not find anything to complain about; and I have indeed found something, in fact. I started my trial for the job in December 2023, around the time when COP28 was coming to an end. My job includes picking headline news for YouTube clicks, but I was not in that mentality yet. I suggested to my supervisor a piece of commentary about the recently concluded conventions' achievements and shortcomings. It was denied. The reason: nobody is ever going to watch that. The product that day never got uploaded anyways.

Last week, I saw greater and more in-depth coverage of a natural disaster than the whole year up to that point combined. It got to a point where witnessing the amazingly high viewcounts from coverage by the domestic team and from live feeds at the scene, we in the international team started to scrape for any bit of disaster content we could find. Naturally, we can't cover domestic news, so we resorted to content on foreign disasters and the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi in the region. We published two videos on Hurricane Francine and have been constantly updating on Typhoon Bebinca, neither of which were or are close to hitting or affecting Vietnam in any way, but have racked up up to 2 million views in total over the last week.

On Thursday, I was tasked with the 9PM evening news - our most important and tasking daily product. The first headline was a piece of analysis on the impact of climate change on the occurence of super typhoons. It was easily approved, and given the serious lack of actual news that day, did reasonably well. The comments, which all need to be screened before publishing, were sparse, but generally showed acknowledgement of climate change and a fear of greater typhoons to come. One particularly nutty comment equivalated climate change denial to anti-tobacco propaganda, which is... ok?

Tinfoil hats aside, it is a sad truth that the human race is stupid as fuck. Not just Vietnam, the human race. It took 90 minutes to get to climate change in the Trump - Harris debate, while the defective Biden debate never even got there. It is taking a historically strong and destructive typhoon to even get audiences to care about the existential risks climate change poses to humanity. And even then, they don't even care about it that much; my evening news got 1/3 the views of our average Typhoon Bebinca briefing, and 2-minute lower audience retention compared to the average edition. They want to shed a tear for the lives lost, and then an hour later, return to mining bitcoin with their monstrous NVIDIA-powered virtual bulldozers.

Is it partly the media's fault? Yes. We're under an inherently capitalist superstructure, and serving profit incentives is our primary motive. I would always argue, however, that capitalism itself is not evil; that it is an inevitable product of a foolish, short-sighted, incapable and individualist base. Coverage of climate change, if there ever is, is necessarily visceral. And when climate change is visceral enough to power people into action, that action will have already been too late.

Typhoon Yagi claimed dozens of lives in Vietnam

Asia’s most powerful storm this year, Typhoon Yagi, killed dozens of people in Vietnam and caused widespread damage, according to Reuters.

Thirty-five people died and 24 were missing, mostly due to landslides and flooding, according to Vietnam’s disaster management agency.

The typhoon hit Vietnam’s northeastern coast on Saturday, where major production facilities of domestic and foreign companies are located. It cut power to millions of households and companies, flooded motorways, disrupted telecommunications networks, felled a bridge and thousands of trees.

Managers and workers at industrial parks and factories in Haiphong said on Monday that they had no electricity and were trying to save equipment from rain in the factories. Bruno Jaspaert, head of DEEP C industrial zones, which hosted plants from more than 150 investors in Haiphong and the neighbouring province of Quang Ninh, stated:

Everyone is scrambling to make sites safe and stocks dry.

The walls of South Korea’s LG Electronics factory in Haiphong collapsed, according to local reports. The major manufacturer of home appliances and electronics, said there were no casualties among its employees, but acknowledged damage to its production site. The company also noted that a warehouse with refrigerators and washing machines was flooded.

The manager of leased factories confirmed widespread roof damage and prolonged power cuts in northern provinces. On Monday, a typhoon collapsed a bridge in Phu Tho province. A senior official of the provincial transport department noted the importance of the structure in the region’s logistics.

This is normally a busy bridge, a key bridge in the province.

State electricity supplier EVN revealed that more than 5.7 million consumers were left without power over the weekend due to dozens of broken power lines. However, power was restored to almost 75 per cent of those affected on Monday.
