According to Lao Dong, on the evening of August 24, 2025, many fishermen quickly boarded boats to Tho Quang wharf and Man Thai beach (Son Tra ward, Da Nang city).
To avoid damage, fishermen have also dragged small boats along the coast to the mainland to avoid gusts of wind, ensuring safety before storm No. 5 makes landfall.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh (living in Tam Ky ward, Da Nang city) said that after receiving the notice, even though the fishermen's boats were fishing far from shore, they quickly returned earlier to ensure the safety of life and property.
"The 4 crew members and 1 captain here are all in Nui Thanh commune, about 100km from the boat dock. After packing up our belongings and tying up the boat, we are waiting for the bus to pick us up so we can return home early to rest and eat" - Mr. Tinh said.
Going out to sea to fish far from shore, but when he heard that the storm would make landfall, Mr. Do Van Hung (born in 1978, Nui Thanh commune) also reminded everyone to quickly return to shore and tie their boats to be careful.
The cozy luggage is packed in foam boxes and plastic bags while waiting for a bus home for more than 100km, Mr. Hung hopes that storm No. 5 will gradually weaken at sea, not causing heavy damage to coastal residents.
