Heavy rains and flooding after Typhoon Bualoi raise death toll to 19 in Vietnam

HANOI: Lingering heavy rains from a former typhoon caused more flooding and landslides in Vietnam, raising the death toll to 19 in the country with more missing. Rainfall topped 30 centimeters (nearly a foot) in parts of Vietnam over the past 24 hours, the national weather agency said Tuesday. It warned that heavy downpours would continue. The prolonged rain triggered flash floods and landslides that cut off roads and isolated communities from the northern mountains of Son La and Lao Cai provinces to central Nghe An province.
