In the days leading up to Tet, the atmosphere in many residential areas that were heavily damaged by the terrible tornado on September 29, 2025 in Ninh Binh has become warmer. In newly completed houses, many families are busy cleaning and decorating their houses to be ready to welcome the traditional Tet of the nation.
Present in Quy Nhat commune, a locality suffering heavy losses in people and property, according to the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, the houses collapsed due to storms have been rebuilt and completed, and people's lives have stabilized again.
In the new 40m2 house of Ms. Trinh Thi Soi's family, 76 years old (in hamlet 10, Quy Nhat commune), who was cleaning the house to welcome Tet, she recounted that just a few months ago, this place was still littered with bricks and stones. The terrible tornado in the early morning of September 29, 2025 completely collapsed her family's level 4 house.
Many families not only lost their homes but also lost their loved ones, having to live temporarily in tents or staying at relatives' houses. However, thanks to the timely and drastic intervention of local authorities and the joint efforts of agencies, organizations, and philanthropists, solid houses have been erected one after another, bringing new faith and hope.
Even in my dreams, I didn't think I would be in a new house this Tet. Before, every time there was a storm, the whole family would lose sleep, now I am at peace. For me, the house is not only a place to shelter from rain and sun, but also a spiritual support after the losses of houses and loved ones" - Ms. Soi shared.
In hamlet 2, Hong Phong commune, in a flat-roofed house of 108m2, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tuyet and Mr. Vu Van Tai are also busy cleaning up the house to welcome Tet.
Ms. Tuyet shared that the tornado completely collapsed her family's level 4 house. From the support of the Ministry of Public Security, local authorities and mass organizations with a total amount of more than 160 million VND, her family borrowed more to build a solid flat roof house.
After more than 4 months, the house has been completed, now only paint is left. So this Tet, my husband and I and our children have celebrated Tet in a new, more solid and spacious house" - Ms. Tuyet said emotionally.
In Quan Phuong 2 village, Quy Nhat commune, in the days leading up to the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026, the 50m2 flat-roofed house of Mr. Luong Van Khuyenh's family, born in 1945, has been completed in time to welcome Tet.
Mr. Khuyenh shared: "Looking at the house devastated after the tornado, I was extremely confused because I am old, in difficult circumstances, and my children are not well-off either. Now being supported to build a solid new house, I am really very happy.
Due to the impact of storm No. 10 (storm Bualoi), in the early morning of September 29, 2025, thunderstorms appeared in Ninh Binh province in 7 communes, killing 9 people, injuring 49 people, completely collapsing 24 houses, and hundreds of houses had their roofs blown off and damaged.

In addition, businesses and philanthropists also joined hands to help finance the damaged households to build and repair houses and stabilize their lives.
