| After every heavy rain lasting about an hour, the section of road between Block 7 and Block 9 of Tan Ky town resembles a river, flooded to a depth of 40-50 cm. |
 |
| Many people using bicycles and motorbikes had to find ways to travel on sidewalks and shoulders. Many motorbikes traveling in the road broke down. |
 |
| With rising water levels, residents had to use whatever they could find, such as wood and plastic beer crates, to block doorways and prevent water from flooding their homes. The owner of a grocery store in Block 7, Tan Ky town, said: "For the past five years since I moved here, every year it's been the same. Whenever it rains heavily, water and trash flood into my house. I have to use things to block the doorways and sweep away the water with a broom." |
 |
| According to local residents, the roads have large drainage pipes, but they have been blocked and clogged, making the flooding even worse. It takes 2-3 days for the water to drain completely. |
 |
| The section of road in Block 3, Tan Ky town, was also flooded with 30-40 cm of water. Heavy rain made traffic difficult, and water flooded into houses and eateries on both sides of the road. |
