Hundreds of families evacuated as Trang River bursts banks

By The Nation

 

Hundreds of families in Trang’s Muang districts had to leave their homes early on Wednesday when the Trang River burst its banks and inundated communities along the river.
 

Officials said the river started to overflow at 1am and residents of Tambon Kuan Pring, Tambon Na Talung, Tambon Nong Trud and Tambon Bang Rak were evacuated to tents prepared by their tambon administrations.

 

Following days of rains, upstream waters from Nakhon Si Thammarat and Phatthalung have been flowing into the Trang River to go out to the sea.

 

The Trang Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office reported that, so far, about 30,000 people in seven districts of Trang have been affected by flooding.

Next stop for The Big Pumpkin to canvas for votes ?    I hope they don't shout at him as he is rather touchy about 'listening' to people's concerns....especially as he has no intention whatsoever of solving the problems other than telling folks what a wonderful 'difference' he and his team are making !

Saw the road... it is getting there...
