At the time of the incident, strong winds caused many roofs to be blown off, doors to collapse, some fences and outbuildings of households to be severely damaged, and the power grid system was affected, causing local power outages for many hours.
According to Mr. Huynh Tuan Nhat, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Chien Dan commune, immediately after receiving information from the grassroots, the commune government mobilized militia, police and shock troops to the scene to support the people.
Authorities focused on clearing obstacles on Highway 40B that were blown down by the wind to ensure smooth traffic at night, while also coordinating with the Electricity Department to fix power outages at some affected locations.
Initial statistics show that Khanh Tho, Truong My and Khanh Thinh villages suffered the most damage. The tornado ripped off roofs of many houses, blew away tiles, toppled fences and affected many of the residents’ living facilities.
In Truong My village alone, Ms. Tran Thi My Lan and Mr. Khuu Minh Dung were injured while trying to close the door against strong winds; both were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment that night.
Until early this morning, the functional forces of Chien Dan commune continued to inspect each area, review the extent of damage to compile reports and support people to overcome the consequences.
Local authorities said they will continue to encourage and help affected households stabilize their lives soon after this unexpected natural disaster.
Tornado causes roofs to be blown off 15 houses in Huong Tra ward
At about 10 p.m. on November 16, in Hoa Lan residential group, Huong Tra ward (formerly Tam Ngoc commune), a tornado occurred, causing heavy damage to the houses of many households.
Mr. Bui Ngoc Huy, Vice Chairman of Huong Tra Ward People's Committee, said that according to preliminary statistics, about 15 houses belonging to Solidarity Groups 2, 3 and 6 were damaged by the tornado on the evening of November 16. Of which, the most severely damaged households were concentrated in Solidarity Group 6. Fortunately, no human casualties were recorded due to the tornado.
Residents of Solidarity Group 6 said the tornado lasted only a few seconds. They were getting ready for bed when they heard a strong howling wind. At first, they thought it was the roar of a car on the road. Only when they noticed the roof had been ripped off and the metal sheets were flying did they realize it was a tornado.
The tornado lasted only a short time, but it caused many houses to lose their roofs and caused a power outage in the area. The family of Le Thi My Nga was the most severely damaged, with the entire roof blown away. Luckily, the 5 members of the family were all safe because they were sleeping in a room with a concrete ceiling.
On the morning of November 17, the militia and police of Huong Tra Ward were present at the scene to help people overcome the damage and repair their houses. The Hoa Lan residential group is coordinating with the People's Committee of Huong Tra Ward to continue to count and count the damage to have a plan to support people to soon stabilize their lives.
