Mr. Vuong Dinh Dung - Deputy Head of Material Planning Department - Nghe An Electricity Company said that as of 5:00 p.m. on July 17, according to reports from localities and electricity units, storm No. 2 had caused 5,757 medium and low voltage power poles to fall. In addition, 3 transformer stations were flooded and damaged, and 11 km of power lines were broken and had to be replaced.

Because the broken electric poles were scattered in many localities and different terrains, the repair took a long time. Nghe An Electricity Department mobilized all forces, coordinated with militia and local people to urgently fix the problem.
