HUE - Heavy rain occurred in Hue City, some roads were flooded, cars and motorbikes had to turn around.

Heavy rain from the evening of November 2 to the evening of November 3 caused many roads in Hue City to be partially flooded, with some places being flooded about 0.5m deep.

According to Lao Dong's records on the night of November 3, roads such as Vu Thang, Hoang Lanh, and Hoang The Thien were flooded, with water levels ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 meters, making it very difficult for vehicles to move.

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. This was a very complicated period of rain, lasting for many days, with the heaviest rain concentrated from November 5 to 8.

To proactively prevent and respond to floods and landslides in the province, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province has issued a telegram promptly directing and implementing response work according to the "four on-site" motto according to assigned tasks and authorities, avoiding being passive or surprised to ensure safety of life and minimize property damage for people.
