Wild storm topples trees in Hat Yai

By The Nation

 

 

Hat Yai in southern Songkhla province was hammered by rain and hail on Monday afternoon, toppling trees and power poles onto a house and at least three cars.

 

The 3.30pm storm felled a large Bodhi tree near the Hat Yai Police Station, which in turn dragged down three utility poles. 

 

 

The poles fell on three passing vehicles, but no one was hurt. Electrical workers temporarily cut the power and repaired the damage.

 

A jackfruit tree fell onto a house roof on Soi Phrom Uthit in municipal Kuan Lang, again without causing injury.

It was rather impressive, wind, rain, thunder & lightning and hailstones battering the windows to add extra sound effects.

No damage here but the power was out for an hour.
