The severe inundation in Vung Tau City


The flooding caused traffic jams on major streets in the city, including Le Hong Phong, Le Loi, Xo Viet Nghe Tinh, Huyen Tran Cong Chua and Hoang Hoa Tham. Vehicles were left stranded after their engines stalled.

Many people had to leave their cars on the streets and called the rescue services for support due to the inundation.

This weather has been caused by a tropical low-pressure front on the East Sea.

Nguyen Thi Huong from Ward 2 said that she had never witnessed such serious flooding in the city before.

Landslides also happened in Nui Lon and Nui Nho areas. Many tourists staying at nearby hotels relocated to safe places.
