Previously, from the night of July 5 to the morning of July 6, prolonged heavy rain caused significant damage in Na Loi commune, Nghe An province. Water levels in streams and creeks rose, flooding the spillway in Na Khuong and Pieng Lau villages, causing local traffic jams for many hours.

Regarding housing, landslides caused rocks and soil to flow into two households in Don Boong and Na Loi villages, of which one house was damaged by 50%. The commune People's Committee organized an emergency evacuation of one household with four members. Huoi Xan Kindergarten was also affected, with about 50m3 of rocks and soil sliding behind the school./.
