Hanoi flood tragedy

The very heavy rain started at 1:30 PM, October 31st. After a couple of hours, a lot of streets already became rivers! 500mm of rain in a short time broke many records.
November 1st and 2nd, the rain continued to fall and Hanoi was seriously flooded. Everybody's life was affected. No food, no clean water, no power... Until today, 1 week after the tragedy, some places are still flooded. And as you know, now is the cleaning, repairing the damage and preparing for epidemic diseases. Somehow, Hanoi people are still in good spirits, still have a smile on their faces that help them through this difficult time. That's the city where I come from.

  1. I love the one of the guy walking on two stools! He really didn't want to get his feet wet, did he?

    Keep 'em coming, Truc!
