The kamnan of the Klong Prasong area of Muang district Krabi in the south of Thailand alerted district chief Chaiwut Buathong after a freak storm damaged many houses. 

 

Mostly roof damage was done to 40 houses in just five minutes.

 

Locals call the storm "Lom Hua Duan" a kind of mini tornado, Daily News reported. 

 

Packing strong winds the storm caught locals by surprise. They said it was the first time in 60 years such a storm had struck the area.
