Extreme weather has wreaked havoc in Dinh Quan district of Dong Nai province over the past few days, causing huge damages to the homes and businesses of local people.

Heavy rains accompanied by tornados destroyed four houses and unroofed many others. The extreme weather also flattened many hectares of subsidiary crops and perennial trees.
