Listen up, folks! From November 16 to 22, the south-central region of Vietnam saw rainfall levels no one's seen in the last 50 years. According to the Voice of Vietnam, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting declared it an "extreme event" that blew past historical records 🌧️➕🌊.
Communities in places like Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh battled flash floods and landslides. Roads turned into rivers, schools closed, and thousands had to pack up and move to safer grounds. Rescue teams jumped into action with boats, drones, and even volunteers delivering hot meals. It's the kind of challenge that tests our spirit, but the Vietnamese community always shows up for each other 🙌.
