The water in the only ditch next to Me Suot Street is rising, just a few meters from the shore. The water flow here mainly comes from the mountains, while the drainage system is not guaranteed, so it is very easy to cause flooding.

The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression is level 7 (50-61 km/h), gusting to level 9; moving mainly west at a speed of about 15 km/h.

It is forecasted that in the next 24 hours, the tropical depression is likely to strengthen into storm number 4 , level 8 intensity, gust level 10.

At 7:00 a.m. on September 19, the center of storm No. 4 was about 210 km east-southeast of Quang Tri and about 120 km east of Da Nang. The storm was at level 8, gusting to level 10.

In the next hours, storm No. 4 will make landfall in the Quang Binh - Quang Tri province area and gradually weaken into a tropical depression.
