By 15.00 at least 22 people were confirmed dead and 3 were missing; hundreds of houses collapsed and the roofs of thousands of others were blown away.

In Quang Ngai province, 2 were dead, one missing and 3 severely injured when the storm hit the province in the morning. Five big fishing boats sank and were washed away by strong tidal waves.

Rising floodwaters inundated most of the roads in the province, disrupting traffic in mountain districts. The communications and power supply systems were completely paralysed and all schools shut down.

Nguyen Xuan Hue, chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, ordered agencies to cancel unnecessary meetings and mobilise forces to help with rescue work. All citizens were encouraged to stay indoors to minimise human losses caused by the disaster.

In Da Nang City, heavy downpours accompanied by strong winds brought down big trees and submerged major roads and residential areas, especially in the Lien Chieu district.

Local rescue workers continued evacuating residents from flood-prone and low-land areas to schools, tall buildings and high-ground floors which are not prone to flooding. In the morning, they used canoes to rescue 10 people in distress from Hong Phuoc village which was cut off by the floods. By 15.00 the storm had taken 3 lives in Da Nang.

Heavy downpours caused the water levels in major rivers in Quang Nam province to exceed the third alert level, flooding roads to mountain areas. Landslides blocked off roads to the remote districts of Nong Son, Tra My, Tay Giang, Dong Giang and Nam Giang. Initial reports indicated that at least 3 people had died in Nui Thanh and Duy Xuyen districts.    

The province mobilised forces, including the army and border guards, to reinforce family homes, dams and other public works and ease traffic congestion on National Highway No1 and Ho Chi Minh Highway. The province asked people in remote areas to stock food and other necessities for at least 10 days to ensure no one would be left hungry after the floodwaters recede.

Torrential rains also caused landslides on provincial roads 672 and 678 in the Central Highland province of Kon Tum, blocking traffic to mountain communes. At least 2 locals were killed when 4 houses collapsed in Dak Na commune in the morning. The province deployed forces to flood-hit areas to clear mud and move local residents to higher ground.
