Flooding in Da Nang??

OceanBeach92107

The internet is full of reports that there is severe flooding in Da Nang.


There has been some significant flooding in the rural parts of the metro area as well as flash floods coming out of the nearby mountains and affecting areas nearby.


But many of these reports are actually talking about areas around H峄業 AN and greater Qu岷g Nam.


In the recent realignment of official provinces, "膼脿 N岷祅g" now extends all the way through what was previously called "Qu岷g Nam", south of the Chu Lai airport and all the way to the border of Qu岷g Ng茫i province.


Even the English language newspaper & website VIETNAM NEWS is showing photos of flooding on the聽 Thu B峄搉 river that runs through the heart of H峄檌 An, with headlines and captions calling it "Flooding In Da Nang".


I'm seeing a lot of people on social media freaking out at the site of that flooding, talking about canceling plans to come to 膼脿 N岷祅g.


Even at the highest point, the Han River didn't overflow its banks, and all of the major bridges remained intact for traffic.


Yes, there are areas in the center City that sometimes become flooded, mostly due to people using the flood drains as trash receptacles.


But overall, "New 膼脿 N岷祅g City" (as the metro area is now being designated) has continued operating without many interruptions, including the airport being open most of the time and fresh markets continuing to provide local food options.
