Nearly 2,800 trees were uprooted across Hà Nội. Heavy rain and strong winds damaged six motorbikes and 13 cars, knocked down hundreds of metres of walls and fences, and caused several homes to collapse or lose their roofs.

I had to look it up:
Key points. Leptospirosis is a disease caused by bacteria that affects people and animals. It's spread in the urine (pee) of infected animals. Leptospirosis risk often increases after a hurricane or flood when people have contact with contaminated water or soil.

Especially contact with open wounds. Lots of these cases were reported in PH.

Lots of damages, but it is done, Fly? Looks like you already have good weather here.

I've seen a lot of videos over the weekend and some will restore your faith in humanity. The cars and buses trying to protect motorcycles from the heavy wind by driving slowly side by side.

Are you able to stay there?
What's the plan?

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Tanko no, he is not allowed to move into the shed with you.

He scares me.

You saw that? That was amazing and it brought tears to many people to see that. I have said it before and I will say it again. I have not met a better quality person than a Vietnamese. The best people in the world and I am honored to be a guest in their country.

 

[flyingillini]

Yeah... I get it. He kind of scares me too.

You do realize if you win the Slugger contest, I am taking you and @DiggityDaggityDo to small claims court.

 

[flyingillini]

Are you able to stay there?
What's the plan?

I am here, nothing I can do. It is drying up but still wet.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Yeah... I get it. He kind of scares me too.

He texted me this photo late last night and said “This could be yours for the low price of 25m Dong, SHIPPED”.
