"too much rain for so much concrete???"

ICYMI: Staggering rainfall in Vietnam in the past week. Bach Ma mountain near Hue City recorded a one-day rainfall of 1,740 mm (68.50 in). This is unofficially the second highest 24-hour rainfall ever recorded globally. Record: 1,825 mm / 71.85 in La Réunion; January 7-8, 1966 (1/2)

More than 120,000 homes already flooded in central Vietnam as the Bo River (in Hue) and the Thu Bon River (in Da Nang) have exceeded historical flood levels. Heavy rains expected thru November 4. FYI: Sept/Oct flood events had already caused >USD1.4bn in damage. dmc.gov.vn/bai-viet/mie... (2/2)
