It was reported that many sections of such major downtown streets as Nguyen Van Linh, Tran Phu, Ham Nghi, Bac Son-Yen The, and To Ngoc Van were submerged under up to 50 cm of water.

Flooded streets caused motorcycle breakdowns and travel disruption.

Markings were used to block a section of Ham Nghi Street and some areas around the Thac Gian and Vinh Trung lakes alongside the street in a bid to warn road users about dangerous flooding areas.

Meanwhile, fallen trees blocked some roads citywide. Residential areas in Hai Chau District’s Binh Hien Ward and Son Tra District’s Nai Hien Dong Ward suffered from power cuts.

… trash bins placed along Hoang Sa Street in Son Tra District were swept by the strong gales.
