HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — 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. State media reported that more than 347,000 families had lost power because of the storm. “No one dares to go out,” said Le Hang, a resident told state media VNExpress. Nine people have been rescued while efforts were underway to reach two others at sea, state media said. Forecasters warned of more heavy rain through Oct. 1, raising risks of flooding and landslides in northern and central provinces.
