According to Thanh Nien 's records at 3:06 p.m. in the area of ​​Huynh Thuc Khang extended street (Dong Da district, Hanoi), the tornado with strong gusts of wind caused panic among many people on the street. Many people quickly ran into large buildings in the shelter area. Along with that, many shops around the area quickly packed up their tables and chairs.

The tornado swept leaves and dust onto the street, causing difficulties for people traveling.

This phenomenon has been warned by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting because the capital and the northern provinces have recently experienced hot weather. Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that hot weather is not a favorable condition for the storm to enter or not enter the North. However, when the hot weather turns to rain, specifically the rain before the storm on September 6 in the Northeast and Hanoi, there will be a higher risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and lightning. At 1 p.m. this afternoon, the location of super typhoon Yagi was at about 19.8 degrees north latitude; 111.2 degrees east longitude, in the sea northeast of Hainan Island, about 450 km east southeast of Quang Ninh. The super typhoon is level 16 (184 - 201 km/h), gusting above level 17, moving west-northwest, at a speed of 15 - 20 km/h.

People were surprised because the weather suddenly turned stormy.
