A resident of Tat Thoong village, Chieu Luu, Ky Son - Mr. Luong Van Quy said: At 5 pm, the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly, the wind blew and rocks as big as thumbs were thrown to the ground.
All the villagers managed to run into their houses because the falling stones were quite thick and large, which could easily cause injury if you stand outside. We were all worried about the damage to our crops and houses, but fortunately the hailstorm only lasted for 3 to 4 minutes, so there was no major damage.”
