Many households living on both sides of the road had to bail out water to prevent it from entering their houses. On National Highway 7, the section through Chi Khe commune, flooding has made it difficult for vehicles to pass.
At this point, the water has receded, although it is still raining in Con Cuong district. Therefore, people need to be proactive to prevent damage to people and property.
