Wipha made landfall in Vietnam on July 22, after battering Hong Kong and China and worsening monsoon rain and flooding in the Philippines.
One of the victims was buried by a landslide while another was washed away by a strong current, reported the Kinh Te Moi Truong newspaper, citing information from the People's Committee of Nghe An.

Residents say a freak tornado that ripped through Perth's coastal suburbs sounded "like a jet engine" as it felled trees and tore up the roofs of homes.

"[The storm] became significant as it immediately approached the coastline, so very limited scope for warning," meteorologist Jessica Lingard told ABC Radio Perth.
"[There's] a lot of damage that we've seen overnight and it does look like it was a tornado that caused the damage in City Beach."
