According to the South Regional Hydrometeorology Station, the peak tide at Phu An and Nha Be stations in the afternoon of the same day reached 1.7 m. This tide level is approximately equal to the historical high tide level of September 30, 2019.
This flood tide fell at rest time from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, making it difficult for people to travel.
In Tran Xuan Soan (District 7) and Ton That Thuyet (District 4), the water rises from the Te canal to the road surface. The vast water does not know where the shore is and where the channel is. Some households have used boards and sandbags to prevent water from flowing into their homes since the early afternoon.
In Quoc Huong Street, Thao Dien (District 2), the water in the gates rose and the river water was flooded. Today, this area is mobilized with high-capacity pumps to suck the water from the sewer into the river to avoid flooding.
Starting tomorrow (October 19), the high tide in the south will gradually subside.
Recently, the water level in the rivers of the Mekong Delta has also risen with the tide. However, authorities said that the flood season here remains historically low, the water will drop rapidly in the coming days.
