On the afternoon of May 13, a widespread heavy rain caused many roads in the center of Can Tho City to be heavily flooded, affecting people's lives and transportation.
According to reporters in Ninh Kieu district, heavy rain caused local flooding on many main roads, such as: Cach Mang Thang Tam, Hung Vuong, Pham Ngu Lao, Nguyen Van Cu, Tran Viet Chau, Ba Huyen Thanh Quan...
According to observations, the water did not drain through the drainage system in time, leading to deep flooding in each section. People said that although the rain period was not too long, due to the slow drainage system, the water rose, overflowed onto the roadside and flooded into houses in some areas.
"Every time it rains heavily, I get extremely bored because I get flooded, it's very difficult to travel, and my motorbike has stalled" - Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh (Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City) shared.
It is known that thunderstorms occurred widely, not only in Can Tho but also spread to neighboring provinces such as An Giang, Dong Thap and Vinh Long.
Can Tho City Hydrometeorological Station warns that in the coming days, the weather will continue to have the possibility of thunderstorms in the evening. During thunderstorms, it is necessary to be especially on guard against tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind, which can endanger people and property.
People should regularly update weather forecasts and take measures to protect their safety and property when there are signs of bad weather.
