Flooding has struck Thailand’s northern Nan province on Wednesday after torrential rains triggered by Tropical Storm Wipha inundated streets and disrupted transportation.
The storm made landfall on Tuesday in Vietnam’s northern provinces of Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa with wind speeds of up to 74 kph (46 mph), down from approximately 100 kph as it approached the coast, according to Vietnam’s national weather forecasting agency.
Heavy rainfall from the storm has since hit parts of northern Thailand, including Nan province, overwhelming local drainage systems.
Nan’s municipal authority issued its third public warning urging residents to remain vigilant and prepare for potential disaster situations as rain continues to fall.
An eyewitness video from Pua District showed people wading through floodwaters as vehicles navigated submerged streets swept by rushing torrents.
Others were stranded in shops surrounded by rising water.
Some streets were waist-deep in muddy floods as residents tried to move through the area.
Thailand’s Meteorological Department forecasts more heavy rainfall in the coming days, with northeastern provinces expected to bear the brunt of the adverse weather.
