We are now expanding our view to tropical storms throughout the world intending to be a comprehensive global storm tracking resource.

Tropical Depression 13 causes damage in Vietnam

A little known tropical depression formed and came ashore during the last couple of days. Typically this would just be considered a strong rainstorm and that would be the end of it. But this depression came ashore in the middle and southern provinces of Vietnam and caused several deaths and damaged many buildings.
