Ten people died and four were missing after the tropical storm "Haima" hit Vietnam's northern and north-central coast, officials said Saturday. Seven of the dead were struck by lightning as they worked in rice fields, two were killed by a whirlwind and one was caught in a flash flood, the National Flood and Storm Control Committee said. It said three people were swept away by floods and one was lost at sea. Strong winds caused damage to more than 1,000 houses, according to a report of the German Press Agency "DPA"
