accuweather_Typhoon Tembin will threaten more lives and property as it targets southern Vietnam around Christmas Day.
Tembin, which is being called Vinta in the Philippines, is being blamed for the deaths of at least 90 people as it crossed Mindanao with heavy rain and strong winds late this week.
Landslides that wiped out entire villages are being blamed for a majority of the deaths.

Floodwaters washed away homes, made some roads impassable and forced hundreds to evacuate.
