Whirlwind in Ca Mau Destroys 5 Homes, Injures 3

A severe whirlwind struck Ca Mau province in Vietnam early on May 29, 2026, causing significant damage to homes and injuring residents. The storm hit the communes of U Minh, specifically in areas 9, 14, and 18, completely demolishing five houses and damaging others.

In response, the Khanh Tien Border Guard Station mobilized 12 officers and soldiers. They collaborated with the local military and government to help residents salvage property, provide temporary housing repairs, and stabilize their lives. The immediate aftermath saw three people injured, one critically, and extensive damage to household items like televisions and air conditioners.

Initial estimates place the total damage at approximately 245 million Vietnamese dong. Authorities are continuing to assess the full extent of the losses and coordinate support for the affected families. This event is particularly concerning as it follows a similar whirlwind just days prior, which had already damaged over 90 houses across Ca Mau province.

The swift response from the border guards and local authorities highlights the community's resilience in the face of natural disasters. Efforts are focused on immediate relief and long-term recovery for those impacted by the whirlwind.
