Fishermen moved boats to safer ground and villagers boarded up their homes across a wide swathe of coastal central Vietnam, as the Southeast Asian country prepared to evacuate nearly 1.3 million people ahead of Typhoon Molave. Molave, which is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, will be the fourth storm to hit Vietnam in a month that saw 130 people killed and left 20 others missing.
