waters will recede.

In Da Nang, markets have not yet opened so
people buy food from sidewalk “shops.” The food prices rise highly. A bunch of
vegetables is priced VND10,000 instead of the usual prices of VND4,000-5,000.
In the afternoon of October 15, bread and
noodle making enterprises and some restaurants in Da Nang opened again. At the
noodle shop at Le Do – Tran Cao Van intersection, many people lined to buy
noodles for dinner. The signboard of this shop was destroyed by the storm. In
many areas, power and safe water were not provided yet so people buy processed
food for their dinner.
Last night, most areas in Quang Nam province
did not have electricity yet so all activities took place in the light of oil
lamps or candles. Mr. Thanh in Tien Phuoc district, Quang Nam province said he
did not sleep for a second on the night of October 14 but his house lost the
roof and assets were damaged. “Our beds are wet and damaged so tonight we will
not have any place to sleep. Anyway we were not in the mood to sleep. Our family
will take instant noodles for dinner,” he said.
