Hanoi flooded again as storm season brings more rain to Vietnam's north

HANOI (Reuters) -Torrential rains triggered by Typhoon Matmo flooded parts of Hanoi on Tuesday, the latest in a series of deluges that have inundated the Vietnamese capital over the past month as a run of storms has swept across the country's northern regions. Heavy downpours flooded major roads, leaving motorbikes and cars stranded and forcing residents to wade through calf-deep water. "It's a loop - rains come, streets flood and people desperately try to get by," said Nguyen Ngoc Long, a Hanoi resident.
