According to VietNamNet, houses in the flood-prone area on Me Suot Street (Hoa Khanh Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District, Da Nang) were flooded with mud after the water receded.
Taking advantage of the time when the mud had not yet dried, people hurriedly cleaned up, scooped up the water still standing outside the alley to pour on the floor, sprayed and washed furniture.

People living in lane 127 Me Suot street (Hoa Khanh Nam ward) urgently cleaned their houses when the water began to recede. Mud covered the house after the flood water receded. While the mud was still dry, people swept and cleaned their houses. The flood greatly affected people's lives and activities, many properties were damaged before they could be raised. Furniture covered in mud, many people said they cleaned from early morning until afternoon and still not finished. Ms. Ho Thi Minh Lien (47 years old, living in lane 74 Me Suot street) tiredly said: "My husband and I cleaned up early and still haven't finished, the water rose more than 1.3m to the house, and there was mud everywhere. For the past two years, my family has been suffering so much with the floods, the money we earn is not enough to buy back the damaged property." With his clothes covered in mud, Phan Thanh Vu took the opportunity to eat noodles to continue cleaning the house. Mr. Vu said that since the night of October 14, his family has been staying up waiting for the water to recede so they can clean the house. According to the People's Committee of Hoa Khanh Nam Ward, Me Suot Street is a low-lying area, so flooding often occurs. According to statistics, this rain caused about 4,000 houses here to be flooded. The flooded houses are all located in residential areas in lower alleys and lanes than on main roads.
