00:00Vietnam is bracing for another disaster.
00:02And this time, the ground might give way before the flood does.
00:06A powerful storm named Codo is brewing off the central coast of Vietnam.
00:10It's not just wind and waves.
00:12It's what comes after that has everyone worried.
00:15The storm is expected to weaken, but its impact won't.
00:18Torrential rain is forecast across the south-central region,
00:22from Quang Gai to Duc Lac and Can Hoa.
00:24Some areas could see up to 180 minutes of rain in just 24 hours, and it gets worse.
00:30From Wednesday to Friday, the heaviest rainfall will move north,
00:34with over 250 mil predicted in some areas.
00:37Enough to trigger floods, flash floods, and deadly landslides.
00:41What's scarier?
00:42The ground is already soaked from last month's historic flooding.
00:45That disaster killed 98 people, left 10 missing,
00:49and caused over 540 million dozen damages.
00:52Now, with the soil weakened and rivers rising fast,
00:56even less rain could lead to catastrophic consequences.
00:58Vietnam is on edge, and the next 72 hours could decide everything.
