A typhoon triggered severe flooding in Vietnam, disrupting events and damaging homes.

Residents were battered by heavy rainfall that caused flash floods in Quang Tri.

Footage shows workers removing screens from Miss Vietnam 2024's 200-ton floating stage during rainfall on Wednesday, June 11.

Men in raincoats can be seen wading through knee-deep muddy water while carrying detachable pieces of the stage wall.

In another clip, farmers can be seen pulling the carcass of a dead buffalo out of the current.

Local media reported that Typhoon Wutip brought continuous rain for two days across central provinces.

The meteorological agency said rainfall totals ranged from 200 to 300 mm, with some areas receiving up to 550 mm, particularly from Quang Binh to Quang Ngai and Kon Tum.

In Quang Tri's Dakrong district, the combination of heavy rain and mountainous terrain caused dam overflows and flooded underground drainage systems.

The O Lau River rose to alert level 2, submerging low-lying areas in Hai Lang and Trieu Phong districts.

Inter-village and inter-commune roads were cut off, with over 14,000 hectares of rice fields and 512 hectares of other crops flooded. Some villages in Huong Hoa and Dakrong were temporarily isolated.

In Mit Cat village, 52 people from 10 households were evacuated due to rising waters.

More than 300 homes were inundated in Dai Loc district, and nearly ten landslides were reported along roads leading to Pho Rang Town in Bảo Yên district.

More than 18,000 hectares of rice fields and nearly 1,000 hectares of other crops were submerged. Flood levels in some rivers reached 30-year highs.

Power outages were reported in several areas, and a fishing boat sank amid the storm.

Flights at Da Nang International Airport were also disrupted.

Authorities confirmed two deaths and four people missing.

Typhoon Wutip made landfall near Dongfang City in China's Hainan Province around 11 p.m. on Friday, June 14.

Hainan Meteorological Service reported that the typhoon weakened into a severe tropical storm after landfall, with maximum winds reaching 30 metres per second.
