122,000 people had been evacuated ahead of the storm, which had already caused 13 deaths in the Philippines when it crossed Luzon at the weekend.



The storm ripped through central parts of Vietnam, badly damaging the city of Da Nang. Trees were uprooted and homes damaged as the storm raged.



Local resident Nguyen Thi Lan said the city now resembled ‘a battlefield’.



Typhoon Nari brought winds of up to 135kph and 221mm of rain to the city. The UNESCO heritage city of Hue was also inundated with 164mm of rain.
