Houses covered in mud after the flood receded, Da Nang residents struggled to clean up

On the afternoon of October 15, the rain in Da Nang stopped and floodwaters in residential areas gradually receded. Taking advantage of the receding water, people began to clean up their houses and shops, and return to normal life.

According to VietNamNet, houses in the flood-prone area on Me Suot Street (Hoa Khanh Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District, Da Nang) were flooded with mud after the water receded.

Taking advantage of the time when the mud had not yet dried, people hurriedly cleaned up, scooped up the water still stagnant outside the alley to pour on the floor, spray and wash furniture.

Mud covered the house after the flood water receded.

While the mud was still wet, people swept and cleaned their houses.

The flood greatly affected people's lives and activities, many properties were damaged before they could be raised high.

Furniture covered with mud, many people said they cleaned from early morning until afternoon and still not finished.

Mrs. Ho Thi Minh Lien (47 years old, living in lane 74 Me Suot street) tiredly said: "My husband and I cleaned up early and still haven't finished, the water rose to more than 1.3m above the house, and it was everywhere. For the past two years, my family has been suffering from the flood, the money we earn is not enough to buy back the damaged property."

With his clothes covered in mud, Phan Thanh Vu took the opportunity to eat noodles so he could continue cleaning his house. Mr. Vu said that since the night of October 14, his family had been staying up waiting for the water to recede so they could clean their house.

According to the People's Committee of Hoa Khanh Nam Ward, Me Suot Street is a low-lying area, so flooding often occurs. According to statistics, this rain caused about 4,000 houses here to be flooded.

The flooded houses are all located in residential areas in lower alleys and lanes than on main roads.
