Today, September 28, storm No. 10 Bualoi tends to move slowly. In response to new developments, this afternoon, September 28, Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam - Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting provided the latest comments on this storm.
Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, please tell us the latest developments of storm No. 10 Bualoi today?
- Due to the influence of storm No. 10, at Ly Son station (Quang Ngai), there were strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 8; Bac Trach station (Quang Tri) had strong winds of level 8, gusting to level 10; Hoanh Son station (Ha Tinh) had strong winds of level 6, gusting to level 9; Van Ly station (Ninh Binh) had strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 9; Hon Ngu station (Nghe An) had strong winds of level 6, gusting to level 8; Con Co station (Quang Tri) had strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 10; Bach Long Vi station had strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 9; ...
At 1:00 p.m. on September 28, the center of the storm was located in the sea of Quang Tri - Da Nang city, about 90km east-northeast of Hue city, about 190km south-southeast of North Quang Tri. The strongest wind near the storm center is level 12, gusting to level 15.
Currently, the new point is that the storm moves more slowly than yesterday, but is still at a very fast level of about 25km/h. When the storm moves more slowly, the impact of the storm can last for more than 1 hour.
So when will the storm move slowly, and when will the storm be expected to make landfall in our country, and which period is considered the most dangerous peak when the storm enters, sir?
- Looking at the forecast image of the trajectory, location and intensity of storm No. 10, at around 1:00 a.m. on September 29, the center of storm No. 10 will touch the shore. Because the area most affected by wind and rain is a few hundred kilometers from the center of the storm, from the evening of September 28 to about 4-5 am on September 29, the peak time of wind and rain will be determined, which is also the most dangerous period of the storm.
Which localities are identified as the focus of direct impact when storm No. 10 makes landfall, and which provinces and cities can the scope of impact be extended to, sir?
- The key area directly affected this time is the area identified as level 4 natural disaster risk, which is Thanh Hoa province - North of Quang Tri.
The localities affected by storm No. 10 will follow the order from south to north along with the storm's northward movement. Currently, it is the provinces of Quang Tri - Da Nang; this evening, September 28, it will expand to Ha Tinh, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa. From midnight to the morning of September 29 are the Northern Delta provinces, then the midland provinces and the northern mountainous areas. For the Northern Midlands, the northern mountainous areas will be mainly affected by heavy rain, not strong winds.
What should be noted about the level 4 risk of multiple natural disasters for localities, sir?
- In storm No. 10, the risk of a level 4 natural disaster is determined based on the possibility of strong winds of level 10-12 in the coastal areas of Thanh Hoa - northern Quang Tri provinces along with the risk of very heavy rain with rainfall over 200mm/3 hours.
Localities need to pay attention to strong winds of up to level 10-12, which can cause trees to fall in large numbers, houses - especially unstable houses - can have their roofs blown off, electric poles broken... causing great damage. Heavy rain can cause urban flooding, flooding of traffic routes in low-lying areas, flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas...
Sincerely thank you!
