According to the reporter's records, within just over 30 minutes, up to 4 cars were towed to the garage of Nghe An Auto Mechanical Joint Stock Company. Most of them had stalled engines, dried interiors, stripped borders... |

For each car brought into the workshop, the owner usually has to pay from 1.2 to 5 million VND depending on the level of flooding. Super cars have to wait for the manufacturer and insurance to handle it. Photo: Canh Nam |

| Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - an officer of Nghe An Automobile Mechanical Joint Stock Company recommends that when a vehicle is flooded, if the vehicle owner has the tools, he should remove the spark plug and air filter and clean them (maybe not throw away the air filter), then start the engine.

| According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hai - a repairman at Thinh Phat Joint Stock Company, when the car wades through water and sees white smoke behind, it means that water has entered the engine. At that time, the driver must turn off the engine immediately if he does not want the connecting rod to bend or the cam to break. In the photo is a car with a broken cam, with this error the car will be forced to be towed to the workshop for repair. Photo: Canh Nam |

| By 1 p.m., the water had receded on many roads, but rescue vehicles were still running around like crazy because many vehicles were still on the road, waiting to be repaired. Photo: Lam Tung. |
