The powerful Storm Nari hit the Da Nang area early Tuesday morning, causing severe damage to many homes, power lines, and trees.  In particular, in Hoa Vang District, thousands of trees were damaged, hundreds of hectares of vegetables were waterlogged, and many villages were cut off by floodwater.

Already the villages of Thach Nham Tay, Tuy Loan, Yen Ne 2 are flooded, and the district is facing more problems as water levels in the Tuy Loan River rise.  As a precaution, many local families from the low-lying areas have been evacuated to safe shelters.
