Apart from damaging over 18,000 ha of rice fields and subsidiary crops, Mirinae stranded traffic and blocked communication, causing difficulties for rescue and relief aid activities.
Torrential rains caused the Ha Thanh river in Binh Dinh province to swell and submerge 15 riverside residential areas in Van Canh and Tuy Phuoc districts and Quy Nhon city, threatening the safety of the local population.
At the request of the provincial authorities, early on November 3, soldiers and officers of the Military Zone 5 rushed to Tuy Phuoc district to join in efforts to rescue and evacuate people marooned by flooding.
More rains are forecast for central provinces from Thua Thien-Hue to Binh Thuan and the Central Highlands . Strong wind is anticipated in the central highland provinces of Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong./.
