Desolate, lost

Hai Dang PV has lived horrifying moments in the storm in the place where the most serious loss of life: Ba Ria - Vung Tau, with 23 people killed, 16 people missing, 173 injured.

Nearly 4:00 am 5-12, just take a nap, the whole family of Thao - a fisherman I live in - and I woke up when the wind outside recoiled. The house vibrated, and the sound of broken glass sounded creepy.

4: 21 . The electricity lost, a loud noise rang out, the living room roof was thrown. Mr. Thao dragged his wife and children into the kitchen. Thao's wife and two young children were taken to hiding under the kitchen counter, and he and I stood by the door, ready in the posture of launching the door to escape because the house could collapse at any time.

Phuoc Lam 1 primary school next to it was broken, glass doors were smashed and the roof was broken. Three out of four people in the school's family were injured and wounded.

At 7am at Loc An Commune Health Center, Phuc's mother cried for the ill-fated daughter Vo Thi Thy (21 years old) to moan in the rain. Phuc's voice was choked, broken. At about 4:00 am, when the wind started to blow hard and heavy rain, she asked the two children to run away to avoid the storm. The young child who just came out of the door suddenly heard a 'roar', Mrs. Phuc and Ms. Thy were collapsed on the house.

Get out of the rubble, and some neighbors find Thy, but she faints when she sees the limbs of the girl's cold and soft. Ms. Thy went away from work and had a two-day vacation to visit her home.'Suffering for my children, why not let my mother die for me .' - Mrs. Phuc choked. Mr. Tran Hong Son - Mrs. Phuc's neighbor - said that his family also brought the children to hide under the bed when the house was unroofed, could not escape to save her son Phuc.

Along the long road along the coast from Long Hai town to Loc An commune, instead of the blue-green ocean goods, it was previously a ruined landscape. Everywhere I saw scenes of huge houses or a pile of rubble. Schools from Loc An to Phuoc Hai, Long Hai and Phuoc Tinh all crowded with refugees.

The pitiful death of both mother and daughter Tran Thi Thanh Le (born 1964) and Nguyen Le Van (1992) shocked the people of Binh Thuan.Because of the fear of collapsing, Le's family took a storm to stay in Dong Tien church next to her house.Suddenly ' thundering ' for an hour.Half of the church floor collapsed, Le's mother and daughter were buried in rubble.In the morning, when the wind was calm, the people in the area could only bring Le's mother and daughter's body to take them home for burial (photos).
