Typhoon Nari heading for central region
VOV 15:04, 2013/10/14
Typhoon Nari is moving west and north-west in the next 24 hours at a speed of 10-15km per hour and will likely hit central Vietnam.

According to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, at 7:00 am on October 14, the storm’s centre was approximately 280km east of coastline of Quang Tri and Quang Ngai provinces with gale-force of up to 149kmp.

Over the next 24-48 hours, the typhoon will be moving west at a speed of 10-15km per hour to make landfall in central provinces and weaken into a low tropical pressure.

 

There will be strong winds in the provinces stretching from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai and heavy rains from Nghe An to Quang Ngai and the north central highlands as well as tidal surges, 3-4 metre high, offshore these provinces

The Central and Central Highland Steering Committee for Flood Prevention and Control says Quang Binh and Khanh Hoa authorities have already directed nearly 44,350 vessels with over 180,730 fishermen on board to seek shelter.

The storm-prone provinces of Quang Binh,  Quang Nam Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue and Da Nang have devised plans to evacuate local residents from danger areas to safe ground.

Earlier, in an urgent telegram on October 13, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung instructed all relevant ministries and local agencies to brace themselves for the powerful storm.
