Tree knocks out power in Pattaya

PATTAYA:--Thursday’s big rainstorm brought down a large tree and three utility poles on Soi Wat Thamsamakee, knocking out power and damaging a house.

 

Resident Wichai Attasart, 65, said winds during the brief storm were strong enough to fell a large tree. It collapsed onto electric and utility lines, pulling one pole down onto a house and causing the other two to lean perilously.

 

Provincial Electricity Authority workers cut up the tree, replaced poles and repaired power lines.

Yes, this was unique, not the usual sleeping truck driver hitting the trees and power poles.

Always the same with above ground power lines:

Wind blows the poles
Trees hit the poles or lines,

Truck hit them

Should I go on? Put it all underground, what is usual in many countries!

Shocking. 

A Tree ?  Only takes a Fart to knock out the power around our way !
