Vietnam Evacuates Thousands and Shuts Airports as Typhoon Bualoi Makes Landfall

HANOI, Vietnam—Vietnam evacuated thousands of people from its central and northern provinces Sunday as Typhoon Bualoi raced toward the country faster than expected and made landfall in the early hours of Monday.

The storm came ashore in northern coastal province Ha Tinh and forecasters said it would move inland before weakening as it pushed northwest toward the hilly regions of Ha Tinh and neighboring Nghe An.
