The streets returned back to normal in the morning but the power lines were down and the remains of hotel signs littered the streets. It was time to leave thinking that the town had been badly hit but it wasn't until the the bus trip taking me to Hoi An via Dannang that made me realise how much destruction had been caused the night before.
The bus went past numerous flooded rice paddy fields, houses with its roof ripped off, massive uprooted trees with the concrete still attached to the base and past the odd telegraph pole that had also been taking down. Often the bus driver would stop and the assistant on the bus would push the power lines above the roof of the bus. Sand covered the coastal road and along the strip in Dannang, the site of it all was heartbreaking. To think I wanted to keep on going south, I would have hit the eye of the storm when it hit the denning.The reports so far come in at 15 dead and many more injured which is sad but comforting to know that the death toll wasn't any higher. It was the worst storm in many many years but a quick response from the government to evacuate some 200 000 people prevented it from being a much bigger national disaster then it already was.
This is a small demostration mother nature .Why r u still wait for more distruction .
