According to local authorities in Hue City, as of 9:00 AM on October 28, the water level in the Perfume River remained at 4.62 meters – 1.12 meters above alarm level 3. Meanwhile, flood levels on the Bo River were also slow to recede, fluctuating around alarm level 3.

Heavy rainfall, combined with upstream floodwaters, has led to severe flooding across central roads and urban areas of Hue City.

In many residential areas, water levels rose over 1 meter during the night, submerging homes and cutting off access.

At the Xuan Phu apartment complex, residents waded through floodwaters to buy food and essential supplies.

Despite the situation, a few coffee shops remained open, serving determined customers amid rising waters.

Grocery stores were not spared, with water spilling into storefronts and damaging supplies.

By 11:00 AM, major streets in the city center, such as To Huu, Ba Trieu, and Hung Vuong, were still under more than one meter of water.

Taking advantage of a brief break in the rain, locals hired boats to reach supermarkets in search of necessities.

Elsewhere in the city, flash floods destroyed Le No Bridge in Khe Tre commune, isolating thousands of households. In downtown Hue, deep water forced residents to use boats and canoes to move around.

With rainfall still ongoing and river levels above emergency thresholds, the disaster warning sirens echoed across Hue throughout the night.

This historic flooding has also led to moving scenes of resilience. One viral image shows a convoy of trucks lining up on National Highway 1A to serve as a "shield" for motorbike riders attempting to cross rapidly flowing floodwaters.

The city continues to grapple with widespread waterlogging, and forecasts indicate the rain will persist. Authorities are urging residents to remain cautious and prioritize safety.
