HANOI: Several Hanoi districts remained inundated on Thursday with the weather agency forecasting little change in the water levels of the Red River over the next 24 hours, as floods and landslides continued to affect areas in northern Vietnam.
"High flooding water levels have flooded riverside and low-lying areas, eroded dykes and threatened parts of Hanoi and other northern provinces," the agency said in a report. "My clothes and furniture are all under the water. Many things were floating around too but luckily I closed the doors so nothing was washed away."
The typhoon has also disrupted power supplies and blew off the roofs of several factories in Haiphong and Quang Ninh provinces, halting their production. The Mekong is expected to hit flood levels in Luang Prabang, a UNESCO world heritage site, on Thursday, the commission said in a bulletin.
