On the evening of August 20, the Military Command of Cam Ly–Da Lat Ward, Lam Dong Province, mobilized personnel to cut branches and remove a large fallen three-needle pine tree from Nguyen Khuyen Street.
Initial reports said that the pine tree, measuring about 50 centimeters in diameter at the base and more than 10 meters tall, fell across the road in the late afternoon, disrupting traffic. Fortunately, no one was passing by when the tree fell.
Similarly, on Ho Tung Mau Street in Xuan Huong–Da Lat Ward, a three-needle pine tree measuring about 60 centimeters in diameter at the base and more than 10 meters tall was uprooted and fell across the entire roadway. Authorities subsequently blocked both ends of the street to remove the tree and ensure public safety.
Heavy rain accompanied by strong wind gusts on the afternoon and evening of August 20 also caused numerous trees to fall in Lang Biang–Da Lat Ward, B’Lao Ward, Ward 1 and Ward 3 of Bao Loc, as well as Bao Lam 1, Bao Lam 5 and Da Teh communes.
Several trees also fell along Prenn Pass in Xuan Huong–Da Lat Ward, Bao Loc Pass and Chuoi Pass. Local authorities promptly mobilized personnel to clear the roads and ensure safe passage for vehicles.
