Flooding in Vietnam.
DisastersCharter.org: After several days of heavy rain, at least 26 people have been killed due to flooding in parts of Central Vietnam. Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces are the worst affected areas and more than 34,000 people have fled their homes after days of torrential rain. Several major roads and highways have been cut off and rail services have also been disrupted after the flooding. The National Meteorology Center forecasts more heavy rain in the central coast of Vietnam. The center also advised that the water levels were dropping in the Quang Binh province while they continue to rise between the Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue provinces. A rescue operation is underway and food is being delivered to the worst affected areas.

Commentary: Most Southeast Asians worship idols and, just as God said in his Word, His warnings and plagues are going forth throughout the world. "The rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear or walk" Revelation 9:20.
