By this evening, the search and rescue (SAR) operation for missing people in Phuoc Son District’s Phuoc Loc Commune in the central coastal province of Quang Nam has been temporarily suspended due to the ongoing storm Goni.
It will be almost possible for tropical storm Goni to center at around 230 kilometers far from east of the Central provinces from Quang Ngai to Khanh Hoa with winds of 60 to 75 kilometers an hour on early Thursday morning.
Philippine authorities on October 31 ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents in the southern part of Luzon island as storm Goni, the world’s strongest this year, is approaching the country.
Newly-formed storm Goni developed from a tropical low pressure zone fizzles off the shore of the Philippines this morning. It is expectged to to become the 10th storm affecting Vietnam this year after typhoon Molave has just battered Central provinces and cities.
