BẾN TRE — Flood tide during the past three days has caused serious erosion in the coastal area of Thạnh Hải Village, Bảo Thuận Commune, Ba Tri District, in southern Bến Tre Province. Another unusual occurrence was that normally, the highest flood tide occurred in the last month of lunar years. But this year, the highest flood tide occurred in the first month of the lunar year, Ngoặt said. The flood tide destroyed 2,000sq.m of vegetables and farm products of the locals, which were going to be harvested. Police, militiamen and border guards were on hand to assist in addressing problems caused by the flood tide, Ô said.
