9 hectares of vegetables were flooded in Ba Don town. The water pipe across Gianh river from Quang Truong commune, Quang Trach district to Quang Hai commune, Ba Don town was broken and washed away by the water due to the influence of the flow.

According to the Hydrometeorological Center of Quang Binh province, due to the influence of the tropical convergence zone with an axis through the Central region, the sea area of ​​Quang Binh has showers and thunderstorms.

Rainfall measured in mountainous communes of Tuyen Hoa and Minh Hoa districts was over 400mm, reaching 633mm in some places. Heavy rain caused the water level of rivers in Quang Binh to rise, of which Gianh River was 1.39m above alert level 2; Kien Giang and Nhat Le rivers were above alert level 1.

Heavy rains also caused landslides and flooding in many areas in Quang Binh, causing local isolation. At deeply flooded areas, authorities have placed signs prohibiting people and vehicles from passing through and deployed forces to block them. Border guards have coordinated with local authorities to place signs and warn people not to cross areas with fast-flowing water.

* On September 20, the Quang Binh Border Guard said that the circulation after storm No. 4 caused a cargo ship anchored at the Gianh River mouth to be swept away.

Accordingly, heavy rains in recent days caused the cargo ship Nam Anh 69, belonging to Nam Anh Construction and Trading Services Joint Stock Company, headquartered in Vinh city, Nghe An province, to drift out to the river mouth, with 6 crew members on board.

The initial cause was determined to be that while the Nam Anh 69 ship was anchored, an oyster cage drifted in and floated the anchor hook, causing the ship to drift.

Gianh Port Border Guard Station has notified relevant agencies and requested some ships anchored in the area to assist.

It is expected that on the afternoon of September 20, when the Gianh River water level rises, the forces will deploy a plan to support the ship to the anchorage position.
