Typhoon Haiyan - Da Nang 2013

Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, or Typhoon No. 14 in Vietnam, was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded. In early November 2013, the storm devastated parts of Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, with at least 6,300 people killed by the storm. The storm also affected Micronesia and Palau, Vietnam, Taiwan, China. In this article, you will see some images of storm preparedness by Da Nang residents, which took place in the time before Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in Central Vietnam. Many people went to the beach to bring sand to prop up their roofs while a large hotel rented several containers to cover its main entrance. Students took the last buses out of the city, away from the storm, while many people went to register for temporary residence in solid dormitories. Images were taken in 2013 by Khoi Studio, using an Olympus digital camera and MF lens. Khoi Tran is a press and event photographer based in Vietnam.
