The storm also uprooted and broke many urban trees. Many large tree branches fell, cutting off power lines, telecommunication cables and damaging the roofs of houses and restaurants. "The torrential rain and continuous wind damaged many roofs of fruit stalls and shops in the market," said Mr. Phong, who lives on Dong Khoi Street.

In addition, heavy rain caused water in alleys to flow out, causing deep flooding on many streets in Ward 7, Tan Phong Ward. Some small passenger cars also stalled, waiting for the water to recede so they could be towed away for repairs.
