Accordingly, heavy rain and strong winds caused a large tree (with a rotten trunk) to fall on the houses of Mr. Nong Van Duong and Mr. Nong Van Huynh, Po Tang village, Hop Thanh commune, causing the roofs of the two houses to break, walls to crack, and many household items to be damaged. Fortunately, at the time the tree fell, no one was home, so there were no casualties. According to estimates from local residents, property damage was about 120 million VND.
