From the night of 21/7 to the end of 22/7, heavy rains combined with water discharge from hydroelectric plants caused flooding and flash floods in many mountainous areas of Nghe An province, such as Ky Son, Con Cuong, Quy Chau, and Que Phong, due to the impact of Typhoon Wipha.
Nghe An authorities reported that as of the evening of 25/7, 16 mountainous communes with over 13,000 households and 61,000 people remained isolated. Many schools were flooded and damaged.
