TYPHOON Noru tore roofs from homes and caused power outages across central Vietnam, with hundreds of thousands of people taking refuge after the storm claimed at least 10 lives in the Philippines.

In Danang, Vietnam’s third-largest city, high-rise buildings shook as the typhoon made landfall in the early hours yesterday, bringing winds of up to around 120kph, according to the national forecaster.
