On the afternoon of September 13, high tides caused significant flooding on various roads in southern Ho Chi Minh City. Notable areas affected included Trần Xuân Soạn, Phạm Hữu Lầu, and Nguyễn Lương Bằng, where water levels rose to nearly half the height of motorbike wheels.

At around 5 PM, the tide began to rise, inundating roads such as Trần Xuân Soạn, near the Tân Thuận Bridge, where water from the Saigon River spilled over onto the street. Fortunately, the flooding this time was less severe compared to previous years, with water levels remaining relatively low and affecting a stretch of about 100 meters.

Vehicles passing through the flooded areas were able to move slowly without too much difficulty. However, sections of Phạm Hữu Lầu and Road 15B also experienced flooding, with approximately 400 meters submerged due to the high tide. By 6:30 PM, the flooding persisted, affecting daily commutes in the area.

Residents reported that flooding during high tides has become a common occurrence, particularly in low-lying areas. The situation was exacerbated by recent heavy rainfall, which had already left many homes in the city inundated.

In the vicinity of Ông Đội Bridge, roads such as Nguyễn Lương Bằng and Hoàng Quốc Việt also faced significant flooding, prompting some individuals to navigate the flooded streets by climbing onto sidewalks.

Despite the challenges posed by the high tide, the flooding was not deemed overly severe, allowing for some level of normalcy in transportation. However, local authorities are continuously monitoring the situation to mitigate future flooding risks.
