DANANG, Vietnam (Reuters) - Vietnam's deadliest storm this year, Typhoon Damrey, has killed 106 people, while dozens of dangerously full reservoirs release water as the southeast Asian nation prepares to host a regional summit. As much as 1,700 mm (67 inches) of rain was recorded at one weather station in the week to Monday. Meetings of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) grouping began on Monday, with Trump, Xi and Putin due to join other regional leaders at the main event on Friday and Saturday. Floods killed more than 80 people in the north last month, while a typhoon wreaked havoc in central provinces in September. The storm hit a key coffee-growing region of the world's biggest producer of robusta coffee beans near the start of the harvest.
