Hanoi Flood, November 2008 - Le Duan Street

Le Duan Street, about an hour after the rain finally stopped.
Le Duan is a busy four-lane street that cuts right through the center of town. Unfortunately it runs parallel with a large lake in Lenin Park, which completely flowed out of its banks after a day of solid, heavy rain, a reported 13 inches in 24 hours, and over 20 inches in 48 hours.

gần nữa thế kỹ mà thành phố vẫn thua xa cã 300 năm xo với thành phố cũ kỹ cũa Mỹ thời xa xưa. Vn nên xây thành phố cao hơn mặt biễn, như trên núi đèo Hãi Vân giống Hông Kong. Vì trong vòng 100 năm nữa, mặt nước biễn dâng lên 1 mét. Lúc đó nhiều thành phố VN xẽ ra sao nhĩ???.
