The center of Quy Nhon Ward in Gia Lai Province suffers widespread power outages after the storm swept through, leaving a trail of severe damage: many shops, hotels, and homes lost their roofs, and trees and billboards were toppled.
Typhoon Kalmaegi battered provinces across central Vietnam after making landfall on Thursday night, cutting electricity to more than 1.6 million households. According to the Central Power Corporation under Vietnam Electricity (EVN), by 6 p.m. on Friday, power had been restored to over 968,000 customers. The remaining outages were mainly in Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Quang Ngai, and Da Nang, where the power grid sustained heavy damage.
