Hardest hit were the part of Neihu where a levee has not been built; the Fuyuan St. and Minsheng areas, where a levee has been built but the sluice gate was not closed in time; and Sungshan and Nankang, where a gap in the existing levee led to serious levels of standing water.
首當其衝的，一是未建堤防的內湖區；一是撫遠街、民生社區一帶，雖有擋水牆，但水門關得太慢，後來水位又高過牆頂，以致上下交流、水勢急猛；松山、南港也因為有個缺口未建堤防，造成嚴重積水。
