Contacting us, Ms. Luong Thi Huong in Muong Phu village, Thong Thu commune worried: My family lives close to the stream so we are seriously affected. The flood washed away the 24m long, 5m high embankment, the kitchen and all the chickens and ducks. The house has now been eroded close to the foundation, my family is worried that the house will also be swept away because the stream water is also rising very high...
