Mr. Ho To (resident of Chau Me residential group) still could not believe his eyes when the house that helped his family avoid the sun and rain completely collapsed after just one night of rolling waves. " Last night when the storm hit Gia Lai province, I saw that there was only light wind in my area so I thought my house was safe. Unexpectedly, when I left the evacuation site and returned, the house was in a mess" - Mr. To said sadly.

Also on the night of high tide, 3 seafood huts and a house nearly 500m from the sea of Mr. Vo Van Thanh were swept away by the waves. Tables, chairs, refrigerators, and machinery were completely damaged. "The efforts of many years of building were considered to have gone down the drain. The total damage is estimated at about 2 billion VND. With the current terrible sea waves, I probably won't dare invest in a restaurant here anymore" - Mr. Thanh confided.
