The storm that devastated the country's central regions regained strength as it headed towards Vietnam. In Vietnam's Gia Lai province, authorities expected to have evacuated some 350,000 people by the middle of the day as they warned of heavy rains and damaging winds that could cause flooding in low-lying areas and disrupt agricultural activity. Even as Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally named Tino, left the Philippine monitoring zone, weather forecasters were tracking a brewing storm east of Mindanao that could strengthen into a typhoon, raising concerns for potential impact early next week. Scientists say storms are intensifying faster and more frequently as a result of warming ocean waters driven by greenhouse gas emissions.
