On Oct. 29 at 0300 UTC (11 p.m. EDT, Oct. 28), Son-tinh was over land, 60 nautical miles (69 miles/111 km) northeast of Hanoi, and was still maintaining sustained winds near 60 knots (69 mph/111 kph), just below typhoon strength. It was located near 21.5 North latitude and 107.1 East longitude. It is moving to the east-northeast at 5 knots (7 mph/11 kph).
Wind shear is adversely affecting the storm as it interacts with and moves over land. Son-tinh is expected to remain over land and dissipate by Oct. 31 over southeastern China
 
Death toll from typhoon Son-Tinh has risen to seven in Vietnam, while 43 people were injured and five others still missing, according to Vietnam’s Central Steering Committee of Flood and Storm Control on Tuesday.

Among those deaths, three people were in northern Thai Binh province, two in Nam Dinh, while Nghe An and Hai Phong confirmed one death each.

According to the report, over 13,000 houses were destroyed, about 19,600 hectares of rice fields and 60,000 hectares of other crops were inundated and over 9,800 hectares of aquaculture farms were affected.
