This is the dramatic moment a tree was uprooted outside a house as Typhoon Kajiki nears Vietnam.

Footage shows intense winds and heavy rain battering the area as a tree suddenly falls near the residence, with visibility reduced amid the freak weather in Ha Tinh on August 25.

The government has suspended flights, closed schools, and launched mass evacuations, with at least 30,000 people relocated from coastal areas.

Typhoon Kajiki was located around 68 miles off the northern part of Vietnam's central coast at 3 pm GMT, with gusts reaching up to 103 mph over the sea.

The storm is expected to make landfall on Monday afternoon.

Officials have described Kajiki as 'extremely dangerous', warning of potential flooding, landslides, and heavy rainfall. It is forecast to move inland, tracking across Laos and into northern Thailand.
