Hey guys.
This is my first post here. On 28th September I left home in Shanghai to intercept typhoon Xangsane in Vietnam. I managed to get to Danang on the last flight before the airport was closed. The typhoon made landfall about 10 miles north of my location at 8.30am 1st October. I've just finished editing a 5 minute film highlighting the typhoon's mayhem and uploaded it to youtube:

Here's a link to some pics I took too:

Hope you enjoy them. I look forward to being more of a part of this forum in the future.
James.

I think that makes Xangsane the costliest typhoon to strike Vietnam. (Fortunately, Xangsane was far from being the deadliest Vietnam typhoon. That would be Typhoon Iris in 1964.)
