Due to the impact of storm No. 5, in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai, there has been heavy rain. In Quang Nam alone, the rain has lasted for the past 3 days, causing many residential areas and roads to be severely flooded.
Quang Nam: Many areas are heavily flooded
According to records on the morning of September 12, in My Thach Trung block, Tam Ky city, many houses were deeply submerged in water, and furniture was damaged because they could not be brought to higher ground in time.
Ms. Tran Thi Hoa (70 years old, living in My Thach block) said that from 7pm on September 10, due to heavy rain, the river water flooded into her house. By 6pm on September 11, the water started to rise so quickly that she could not move her things in time.
"It rains heavily and the water recedes slowly, so it floods here often. The water rises quickly at night, so we haven't had time to move our belongings to higher ground," said Ms. Hoa.
According to Ms. Hoa, this area is low-lying and the rainwater cannot drain fast enough. Currently, many families with children and the elderly have moved to other places to take shelter.

In addition, the road leading to the block was nearly 1 meter high, many families had to take boats to buy food to prevent isolation.
Mr. Duong Van Tuan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Thuan Ward, Tam Ky City, said that the locality has planned to relocate 15 households from the flooded area to the Continuing Education Center.
"We have sent local forces to monitor the storm's developments and support people if the worst happens," said Mr. Tuan.

As of 9:00 a.m. on September 12, Quang Ngai had no unfortunate incidents caused by storm No. 5, but the rainfall was very heavy, and the Provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue issued an official dispatch requesting localities to urgently respond.
Accordingly, although storm No. 5 weakened into a low pressure area when it reached the shore, it caused very heavy rains throughout Quang Ngai province. Rainfall ranged from 350 mm to 650 mm. It is forecasted that in the next 6-12 hours, floods on the Ve and Tra Cau rivers will be at alert level 3; and the Tra Khuc and Ve rivers will be at alert level 2.
Localities proactively evacuate people from low-lying areas and areas at risk of landslides. At the same time, they organize forces to harvest agricultural products and rice for people because flooding will occur in most fields throughout Quang Ngai province.
