Typhoon Nakri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Quiel, was a strong typhoon which made landfall in Vietnam causing 24 deaths, with 13 missing, and up to $49.4 million in damages.
The typhoon was initially spotted off the coast of the Philippines, developing into a tropical depression. Nakri later became a typhoon.
On November 5, a depression off the coast of the Philippines was spotted, eventually developing into Tropical Depression Quiel. Quiel intensified to become the twenty-fourth tropical storm of the season and was named Nakri by the Japan Meteorological Agency, JMA. As Nakri headed towards the northwestern Philippines, on November 7 it began to unexpectedly strengthen and also change direction, heading back out into the South China Sea and towards southern Vietnam. November 9 saw Nakri begin to weaken, dropping below typhoon intensity. It eventually crossed the Vietnamese coast on November 11.[1]
When Typhoon Nakri transitioned into a tropical storm it brought tropical downpours to the northwestern Philippines.[2] In Luzon, the mixed effects of Nakri and a cold front produced sizeable heavy rain. The resulting floods and landslides killed 24 people and left 13 others missing.[3] Cagayan Province alone suffered ₱1.8 billion (US$49.4 million) in damage.[4]
Typhoon Nakri made landfall on Southern Vietnam[5] on November 11, weakening rapidly once making landfall. After making landfall, it continued to push inland affecting rainfall in southern Vietnam, eastern Cambodia, southern Laos and eastern Thailand with 175mm being reported in Ban Ma Thout, Vietnam.[6]
