It's still raining in Hanoi







The rain started Thursday night, and now on Sunday afternoon, it's still raining. The worst flooding was Friday during the day, but many streets are apparently still flooded. 19 reported dead, some areas without power, and over 100,000 without reliable drinking water. Worst rains and flooding in the city in 30 years, with 450 mm of rain falling in 1 twenty-four hour period. I didn't manage to get any pictures Friday, although where I was (the People's Police Academy) was under a foot of water, but did manage to find these two pictures online today. They accurately reflect what I saw on Friday evening. Truly amazing.
