    Sáng 24.8, từ trên cao, vùng Thất Khê, Tràng Định hiện ra như một hồ nước khổng lồ. Dòng nước đỏ đục tràn khỏi sông, phủ kín làng mạc, đường giao thông và những cánh đồng ven chân núi. Giữa biển nước, nhiều mái nhà chỉ còn nhô lên, các khu dân cư bị chia cắt thành từng “ốc đảo”. Ảnh: Hiếu Lê
    On the morning of August 24, from above, the area of That Khe, Trang Dinh appeared like a giant lake. The muddy red water overflowed the river, covering villages, roads and fields at the foot of the mountains. In the middle of the sea of water, many roofs only protrude, and residential areas are divided into "islands". Photo: Hieu Le
    Thất Khê là nơi chịu tác động trực tiếp của ba con sông và bốn suối. Mưa lớn kéo dài khiến nước từ thượng nguồn đổ về nhanh, có thời điểm dâng 3-4 m, gây ngập 10 trong tổng số 20 thôn.
