    Vietnam hit by floods
    Vietnam has been severely affected due floods generated by the unseasonable heavy rains pouring down in the past few days.
    The fierce floods have taken lives of 5 people and kept many members trapped in homes in restless positions.

    As much as 8 to 16 inches of rain has been recorded over the central province in the last four days alone.
    Thousands of homes are submerged due to the floods leaving innocent people homeless and with grief.
    Quang Nam, a city in Vietnam has received a geographical change with its streets turning into overflowing streams. A lot of rice fields have also been destroyed due to these heavy rains.

    The geographical placement of Vietnam creates the route for the place to receive such high rainfalls.
    Generally the monsoon takes birth in the month of September and comes to an end during this time.
    2008 was a particularly bad year for flooding in Vietnam. In October, the capital Hanoi suffered the worst floods seen in the region for 35 years.

    Reports of rain dying out have been commenced and the levels of rivers are also falling down but the threat of further heavy rains is still not dismissed.
