The national disaster committee said in a statement, after part of the province's system of dykes was overwhelmed: "It's the most devastating flooding in more than 30 years in Phu Yen."

The storm destroyed 154 houses, damaged 2,500 others and inundated about 1,800 hectares (4,450 acres) of crop land, Vietnam News reported.
