To prevent flooding, on the night of November 3, residents of Xuan Phu and Aranya apartment buildings had to move their cars to the square near the Thua Thien Hue Provincial Administrative Center to park their cars and prevent water from rising.

Vinasarcom of Thua Thien Hue province said that from the evening of November 3 to November 9, the province experienced heavy to very heavy rain. The total rainfall for the entire period was generally 500 - 850mm, with some places reporting over 1,000mm.
