Typhoon No. 6 (Trami) has brought heavy rains and gale-force winds, reaching levels 8 and 9 in some coastal areas of Thua Thien Hue. In the mountainous district of A Luoi, several households are isolated by floodwaters, currently stranded in forested areas.

As of midday on October 27, Typhoon Trami had unleashed heavy rain and strong winds across Thua Thien Hue Province. The Provincial Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue Command reported winds reaching level 9 in Thuan An Beach, level 8 in Hue City, level 6 in A Luoi District, and level 7 in Nam Dong District.

At the Hoa Duan Dam area (Phu Thuan Commune, Phu Vang District) and parts of Thuan An Ward (Hue City), high waves breached the sandbank of the beach, creating fast-flowing water into residential areas.

Phu Thuan Commune officials confirmed that sea levels continue to rise rapidly. Local forces are monitoring the situation closely and preparing further response measures.

Phan Cong Man, Chairman of Phu Loc District People's Committee, reported that high tides had caused seawater to flood Lap An Lagoon and overflow into residential areas, flooding sections of National Highway 1A.

Speaking to VietNamNet, Dinh Viet Cuong, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hong Bac Commune (A Luoi District, Thua Thien Hue Province), said that approximately 15 households from the hamlets of Tan Hoi, Ra Looc A Soc, Le Ninh, and Le Loc 2 are currently in the forest for farming and have not yet returned.

According to Cuong, these residents have set up makeshift shelters near the A Lin Stream and other areas. Due to heavy rainfall, it is presumed they have remained in their camps. Local authorities are reviewing the list of those stranded and have prepared rescue measures.

The Provincial Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue Command reported that the recent heavy rainfall has led to rapid river rise. By 10 AM, the water level of the Huong River at Kim Long reached 2.06 meters, exceeding Alert Level 2 by 0.06 meters.

Forecasts predict that, over the next 12-24 hours, river levels across Thua Thien Hue will continue to rise, fluctuating between Alert Levels 2 and 3, posing a flooding risk to many areas in the region.

In Quang Tri Province, a quick report from Gio Linh District’s People’s Committee indicated that heavy rain and high waves caused damage to several seaside establishments, with four restaurants at Gio Hai Beach collapsing completely. Ongoing construction on coastal embankments also suffered landslides.

Heavy rain caused landslides along Nguyen Huu Tho Road (Cua Viet Town). Local authorities have mobilized forces to erect barricades and issue warnings to ensure public safety.

In Vinh Linh District, strong winds and heavy rain sank a fishing boat, QT-21093TS, anchored at the Cua Tung Typhoon Shelter. Additionally, heavy rainfall caused localized flooding in several communes. Rising water levels on the Ben Hai River have reached the edge of the left bank levee and are close to overflowing.
