Impact not solely from Linfa, restructure to a flood article

This article is entirely inaccurate in stating all of the impact to be from Linfa. It appears to be from a prolonged monsoon event punctuated by multiple tropical cyclones. ReliefWeb considers everything since September as a single, prolonged event. A report today from ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance states the event as a "combination of weather systems (Tropical Storms LINFA and NANGKA, and the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone combined with cold air)". TD Ofel later produced additional rainfall that exacerbated the event. Extreme rainfall reports of 1,500 to 2,000 mm are from the period of October 5-10, before Linfa made landfall. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have 2020 Central Vietnam floods, which mentions this, and the other storms. Considering Linfa was so short-lived (and its impacts limited largely to Vietnam), perhaps merge this with the flood article? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't know that article existed. Yeah, just merge/redirect this and Nangka. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I merged this, but I wouldn't start a merge discussion for Nangka. It had other impacts outside of Vietnam. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 00:12, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From 10/10 to 10/13 (the storm Linfa affects and made landfall), the area of Thừa Thiên Huế was dumped by much rain. The official measures that the amount of rainfall per day in Huế was 719mm/24 hours; it means it dumped 2100 mm of precipitation in 3 days. [1]
