According to initial information, at around 11:00 AM on November 15th, heavy and prolonged rain caused a large amount of soil and rocks behind Mr. T.D.M.'s house to slide down and flood his house (51 years old, residing in Dong Hoa village, Binh Tien commune).

At the time of the incident, Mr. M. and his wife were inside their house and were unable to escape, becoming trapped and buried under the mud.
