Dozens of trees uprooted in Vietnam's Dong Thap after heavy rain, strong winds

Authorities in Cao Lanh, together with police and military units, worked through Saturday evening to remove fallen trees and restore normal traffic after a heavy rainstorm swept through the area.

According to Bui Quoc Nam, chairman of Cao Lanh, the rain began at around 3:15 pm and was accompanied by strong winds that uprooted multiple trees in the ward’s central area.

Local authorities mobilized all available personnel and equipment to clear debris and ensure public safety.

"So far, we have not recorded any injuries. We are coordinating with police and military forces to clean up affected areas," Nam said.

The streets most affected by the storm included Nguyen Hue, Ly Thuong Kiet, Truong Dinh, and Tran Thi Nhuong.

Numerous trees were also uprooted in the children's park on April 30 Street.

Several fallen trees became entangled in power lines, causing localized blackouts, while large branches and debris obstructed roads and park pathways.

Authorities were continuing recovery efforts following the storm.

Military personnel were deployed to remove fallen trees, while police officers were directing traffic in affected areas.
