The 2020 Central Vietnam floods were a series of floods in Central Vietnam, which also affected some areas in Cambodia and Laos in October and early November 2020. The floods focused heavily in several provinces including Thừa Thiên Huế, Hà Tĩnh, Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị, and Quảng Ngãi. The floods were mainly caused by the seasonal monsoon, with additional impact from multiple tropical cyclones.

Beginning on 7 October, amid seasonal monsoon conditions and tropical depressions over Khánh Hòa province, a series of tropical cyclones during the 2020 Pacific typhoon season, including Linfa, Nangka, Ofel, Saudel, and Molave, affected Northern and Central Vietnam, as well as parts of Laos and Cambodia. The storms brought strong winds and excessive rainfall to the affected regions, with precipitation peaking at 3,245 mm (127.76 inches) in Hướng Linh, Hướng Hóa District, Quảng Trị around 20 October. In response to the severe flooding, Vietnam issued a Category IV disaster alert for heavy rainfall—the first time this highest-level warning had ever been declared, surpassing the previous maximum of Category III.[10]

On 5 November, the weakening Typhoon Goni entered the South China Sea and made landfall in Central Vietnam the day after as a tropical depression. On 10 November, Tropical Storm Etau also made landfall in the same region. On 12 November, Typhoon Vamco entered the South China Sea, approaching Vietnam as it gradually strengthened into Category 4-equivalent strength after exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

As of 1 December, more than 243 people were reported dead or missing by the Vietnam Disaster Management Authority (VNDMA) as a result of the floods.[11] The total economic damage the floods caused was nearly đ35.8 trillion (US$1.57 billion).

Impact

Seasonal monsoon associated with low-pressure area (6–9 October)

On 7 October, a low-pressure area made landfall in the provinces of the South Central Coast.[12] Enhanced by the seasonal northeast monsoon, many provinces nearby experienced heavy rainfall with average accumulations ranging from 200 to 300 mm. In Sa Huỳnh (Quảng Ngãi), rainfall peaked at 360 mm (14.17 inches). By 11 October, prior to the landfall of Tropical Storm Linfa, heavy floods had already killed nine people.[13]

Tropical Storm Linfa

On 9 October, a tropical depression formed in the east of Luzon. It was upgraded to a tropical storm and was named Linfa by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) the next day. On 11 October, Linfa made landfall along Vietnam's Central Coast in Quảng Ngãi province—[14]an area already flooded by monsoonal flooding from 6 to 9 October. It delivered historic levels of rainfall to Central Vietnam, with accumulations peaking at 2,290 mm (90.16 inches) in A Lưới (Thừa Thiên Huế)[15] and 1,520 mm (59.84 inches) in Hướng Linh (Quảng Trị)[16], making Linfa the twelfth-wettest tropical cyclone on record.

The storm destroyed 382 houses and flooded an additional 109,034. In addition, the storm damaged 165.1 km of national highways and 140.1 km of provincial roads. Agricultural losses were severe, with 584 hectares (1,440 acres) of rice crops, 3,879 hectares (9,590 acres) of vegetable crops, and 2,141 hectares (5,290 acres) of aquaculture areas destroyed. An estimated 150,700 cattle and poultry were lost.[17] In total, Linfa left 174 people dead and 20 people missing in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Rào Trăng 3 landslides

On the night of 11 October, heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Linfa triggered a landslide at the Rào Trăng 3 Hydropower Plant in Phong Điền District, Thừa Thiên Huế Province, leaving 17 construction workers missing.[18] On 12 October, a military rescue team was dispatched to search for the missing workers was strucked by a second landslide, killing Major General Nguyễn Văn Man and 12 other soldiers.[19][18] Their bodies were recovered by rescuers on 15 October.[20]

Tropical Storm Nangka

Tropical Storm Nangka approaching Vietnam on 13 October

A tropical depression formed west of Luzon on 11 October, and was upgraded to a tropical storm and named Nangka the following day. On 13 October, Nangka crossed the Gulf of Tonkin, and it made landfall in Ninh Bình on 14 October.

In preparation for Tropical Storm Nangka, more than 150,000 people in Vietnam were evacuated from their homes.[21] Several provinces banned vessels from departing to sea during the storm. On 14 October, Vinh International Airport in Nghệ An and Thọ Xuân Airport in Thanh Hóa were temporarily closed.[22] Vietnam Airlines and Pacific Airlines announced announced the cancellation of eight flights to the two airports.

Still, wind gusts reached up to 120 km/h (75 mph) in Nam Định.[23] Heavy rainfall was recorded in several northern provinces, including 411 mm (16.18 inches) in Yên Bái and 375 mm (14.76 inches) in Quảng Ninh on 16 October.[24][21] The storm caused two deaths and left one person missing in Northern Vietnam.[25]

Tropical Depression Ofel

After entering the South China Sea, Ofel made landfall and subsequently dissipated over Central Vietnam on 16 October.[26] Ten deaths had been reported by 21 October, likely attributed to the remnants of Ofel combined with the effects the northeast monsoon.[27] Rainfall had significantly decreased as of 20 October.[28]

Hướng Hóa landslides

On 18 October, a sudden landslide buried the barracks of an army economic division in Hướng Phùng Commune, Hướng Hoá District of Quảng Trị Province, resulting in the deaths of 22 soldiers.[29] Another landslide in the district also killed six members of a family and one rescue worker.

Tropical Storm Saudel

Typhoon Saudel over the South China Sea on 26 October

As Typhoon Saudel approached Vietnam, it began to rapidly weaken due to high vertical wind shear and was downgraded to a tropical storm on 24 October. It was further downgraded to a remnant low on the next day, as its center became largely devoid of deep convection.[30] Despite its weakening, Saudel still brought heavy rainfall to Central Vietnam.

The storm also generated strong winds and rough seas in the waters off the Malaysian state of Sabah, where the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issued a tropical storm advisory, noting that the storm was located 1,315 km (817.1 mi) northwest of Kudat, the nearest town.[31]

Typhoon Molave

Molave near peak intensity on 27 October near the coast of Vietnam

Nearly 1.3 million people were evacuated in Vietnam as Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc ordered boats onshore and called for preparations by local security forces and residents in the area. The Prime Minister also compared Molave to Typhoon Damrey in 2017.[32] Hundreds of flights were canceled, and schools across affected areas were forced to close. The federal government mobilized approximately 250,000 troops and 2,300 vehicles to support search and rescue missions.[33] Members of the Vietnamese military assisted in evacuating elderly people onto buses, securing vessels, and placing sandbags on rooftops.[34]

On 27 October, the Da Nang People's Committee instructed people to remain indoors starting at 20:00 local time and advised all government officials and workers to stay home the following day as part of emergency preparedness measures.[35] The same day, two Vietnamese fishing vessels sank due to the approaching typhoon.[36] Search efforts were launched to locate the 26 missing fishermen aboard the boats.[37]

Molave began impacting Vietnam late on 27 October. By the morning of 28 October, the entire island of Lý Sơn alongside its 20,000 inhabitants had lost power and was battered by sustained winds of up to 165 km/h (103 mph) for hours.[38][39] Coastal areas experienced wave heights reaching 6 metres (20 feet).[37]

The typhoon caused widespread destruction across Central Vietnam. Wind gusts peaked at 176 km/h (109 mph) in the city of Quảng Ngãi.[39] Heavy rainfall was also recorded, with Sơn Kỳ (Quảng Ngãi Province) receiving 470 mm (18.50 inches) of precipitation within 24 hours.[39] Molave damaged or destroyed 56,163 houses and left approximately 6.5 million people without electricity.[40] It caused 13 deaths, injured 16 people, and left 48 others missing.[39][41][42][43][44][45]

As of 1 November, Vietnam estimated total economic losses from Molave at approximately 10 trillion VND (US$430 million).[46]

Quảng Nam landslides

Devastating landslides caused by Molave have killed at least 28 people in the communes of Nam Trà My District, Quảng Nam Province. Another landslide in Phước Sơn District buried 11 members of a family.[47]

Tropical Storm Goni

After making a catastrophic landfall in Catanduanes, Typhoon Goni moved into the South China Sea with sustained winds ranging from 65 to 70 km/h (40 to 43 mph) before briefly weakening again into a tropical depression with winds of 50 km/h (31 mph). Its convection became decoupled from its low-level circulation due to anticyclonic wind shear generated by the nearby Tropical Storm Atsani (Siony) over northern Luzon combined with cooler sea surface temperatures. As a result, Goni's associated trough brought further showers, thunderstorms, and flooding to already rain-saturated areas of Vietnam, previously affected by Linfa, Nangka, Ofel, Saudel and Molave. Goni also caused unusual flooding to coastal cities of Nha Trang and Quy Nhơn.

According to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the storm was expected to impact areas between Da Nang and Phú Yên on 5 November. As of 3 November, just two days before the projected landfall, the only preparations that had been made were the issuance of a no-sail order, affecting about 50,000 fishing boats.[48] On 4 November, Quảng Ngãi People's Committee Chairman Đặng Văn Minh ordered evacuations in landslide-prone areas. Meanwhile, the National Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue mobilized more than 64,500 personnel and 1,718 vehicles to support emergency response efforts.[49]

On 5 November, Tropical Depression Goni made landfall in southern Bình Định Province, marking the fifth tropical cyclone to strike the country within 30 days.[50] On 6 November, a man in Quảng Ngãi Province was swept away by floodwaters, while another went missing after his ship sank. Twenty houses in Quảng Nam Province collapsed into a river and a school was damaged. In Bình Định Province, two houses were destroyed by landslides and 228 hectares (560 acres) of croplands were damaged. Roads in several provinces were damaged by erosion and landslides, including parts of the Ho Chi Minh Highway.[51]

Damages in Bình Định from both Goni and the later Tropical Storm Etau were calculated to be 543 billion (US$23.5 million).[52]

Tropical Storm Etau

Tropical Storm Etau at peak intensity.

On 7 November, the JMA began tracking a tropical depression 850 km (530 mi) east-southeast of Manila. At 12:00 UTC on the same day, the PAGASA declared the system as a tropical depression and named it Tonyo as it formed over Burias Island.[53] It further strengthened into a tropical storm on 9 November and received the international name Etau. Etau then continued its path toward Central Vietnam after crossing the Philippines.

The storm made landfall on 10 November, resulting in two deaths: one in Quảng Nam and one in Bình Định, and damaging 31 houses.[54] It brought over 250 mm (9.84 inches) of rainfall to the provinces of Bình Định, Khánh Hòa, and Phú Yên.[55] Strong winds associated with Etau uprooted trees and tore the roofs off buildings, many of which were still recovering from the prior impacts of Typhoon Molave and the weakened Tropical Storm Goni. Localized power outages were also reported in the city of Tuy Hòa.[56]

Economic losses in Tuy An District, Phú Yên were estimated at 122 billion VND (US$5.26 million).[57]

Typhoon Vamco

Vamco approaching Vietnam at peak intensity over the South China Sea on 13 November

After crossing and wreaking havoc in the Philippines as Typhoon Ulysses with an initial peak of a Category 3-equivalent typhoon, the storm gradually weakened below typhoon status before it exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 01:30 UTC on 12 November.

After exiting the PAR, Vamco continued its path towards Vietnam. On 14 November, the Vietnamese Government ordered the evacuation of at least 460,000 people in anticipation of the typhoon's landfall.[58] That morning, all flights at five airports: Da Nang, Chu Lai, Phú Bài, Đồng Hới and Vinh were either suspended or delayed due to the approaching storm.[59]

Vamco began affecting Central Vietnam around midnight ICT on 15 November. Despite having weakened, a weather station on Lý Sơn island reported sustained winds of 100 km/h (62 mph) and gusts reaching 115 km/h (71 mph).[60] Strong winds uprooted trees and damaged numerous homes across four provinces from Hà Tĩnh to Thừa Thiên Huế.[60] In Thuận An (Thừa Thiên Huế), large waves battered docking fishing vessels and homes.[61] In Da Nang, storm surge destroyed sections of sea embankments and scattered rocks and debris across roads and residential areas.[61]

Power outages affected 411,252 households in six central provinces.[62] One person was killed in Thừa Thiên Huế, with over 1,500 houses collapsed and economic losses in Quảng Bình reached 450 billion VND (US$19.4 million).[63][64] As of 16 November, Vietnamese authorities reported the evacuation 325,000 individuals and five injuries due to Vamco.[65]
