The storm is already affecting Hainan, China, leaving heavy rainfall in its wake. Forecasters predict that while Typhoon Kajiki may weaken as it moves inland, it could still bring destructive winds of up to 200km/h and rainfall amounts between 300-400mm across Vietnam. Storm surges of 2-4 meters (6.6-13 feet) are also expected. Vietnamese officials are urging people to stay indoors after 14:00 GMT on Sunday and have deployed soldiers to assist in the evacuation efforts. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has stressed the dangers posed by the storm, highlighting the risks to vehicles and structures, including fishing vessels and aquaculture facilities. In response to the impending storm, Vietnam Airlines has cancelled at least 22 flights in central cities. The nation is on high alert, fearing potential destruction similar to that caused by Typhoon Yagi last September, which resulted in hundreds of fatalities.
