Storm No. 11 Matmo, although weakening into a tropical depression, still caused widespread heavy rain in many northern provinces. In the past 24 hours, Tuyen Quang has had moderate to very heavy rain.
According to the Tuyen Quang Province Hydrometeorological Station, from 5:00 a.m. on October 7 to 5:00 a.m. on October 8, the province will have moderate rain, heavy rain over a wide area, some places will have very heavy rain such as Hoang Khai (An Tuong ward 203mm), Minh Xuan ward 183mm, Hoa An 166mm...
The flooding situation seriously affects people's lives, transportation and tourism activities.
In the area of Minh Khai Street (Ha Giang 2 Ward), especially the section in front of Ha Giang Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities, the water level rose from 0.8 - 1 m, causing many obstacles to travel.
Similarly, on Nguyen Du Street (Ha Giang 1 Ward), the Trang Bridge area was deeply flooded, many households had to move their assets up high to prevent damage.
Ms. Hoang Thanh Chieu (31 years old, businesswoman) currently living in Ha Giang 2 ward, Tuyen Quang province, said: "On Nguyen Thai Hoc street, river water has flooded the am floor of households along the river. Although it is no longer raining, due to the large amount of water flowing from the hydropower plants at the same time, it is difficult to avoid flooding".
Her family's coffee shop suffered heavy damage after storm No. 11. All the furniture in the shop was washed away by floodwaters, the windows were broken. Before evacuating, she proactively opened all the windows to reduce water pressure, avoiding damage to the equipment and structure of the restaurant.
"The scale of the restaurant is about 75m2, the total estimated damage is about 250 million VND. It will probably take me about 1 - 2 months to repair the entire restaurant, electricity lines, water pipes and buy back used equipment. The surrounding businesses may have suffered more damage because people were unable to evacuate their belongings in time," said Ms. Thanh Chieu.
This is one of the most famous coffee shops in Tuyen Quang thanks to its unique Km No. 0 milestone ice cream. The ice cream stele is designed to simulate the Km 0 milestone in Ha Giang, attracting young people to check-in and enjoy, creating a new tourism trend.
Previously, a serious flood occurred after storm No. 10 Bualoi causing a series of serious landslides in communes such as Lung Cu, Dong Van, Yen Minh..., Quang Trung suspension bridge in Ha Giang 2 ward collapsed.
Natural disasters have caused tourism activities to stagnate, many tourists have canceled tours and bookings in the middle of the peak rice season with many visitors. Tourism activities on the Nho Que River have been suspended due to rising flood waters.
