Tourists Stage Swimming Race in Hue's Flooded Streets

The streets of central Vietnam’s Hue were flooded on Sunday, November 5, after Typhoon Damrey made landfall near Nha Trang the previous day.Water levels in town were high enough for a group of tourists outside Hue’s Freedom Hostel to engage in a “swimming contest,” as seen in this video.“What do you do when a Typhoon hits Vietnam?” wrote the uploader, Joanna Vallsater. “Swimming race on the street for free accommodation, of course!” Credit: Instagram/jonnavallsater via Storyful
