At about 5:30 p.m. on September 11, heavy rain fell in Phan Thiet. After about 30 minutes of rain, sand overflow occurred at 300 Nguyen Thong, Phu Hai Ward, Phan Thiet.
The last time the sand overflowed was on 3 consecutive days, September 3-4-5. Although on September 7, a stone gabion embankment was constructed across the sand overflow location, but tonight, September 11, heavy rain, the sand flood crossed the stone gabion embankment and flooded Nguyen Thong street.
The sand flowed on the road with such force that it buried a car wheel. Phu Hai ward authorities were also present to block both sides of the sand spill and guide people to another route.
At this time, reporters were traveling on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, connecting Nguyen Thong Street to Ham Tien resorts, and recorded heavy rain and stagnant water on the road.
There was a section where the water was half-full of motorbikes. Many motorbikes stalled in the middle of the road. There were even cars stalled and people had to push them to the side of the road.
At 7:00 p.m., the locality was urgently handling the sand spill on Nguyen Thong Street.
