Siam Rath reported that four sections of grandstand roofs blew away in a storm at a school in Prachinburi, central Thailand yesterday evening.

 

Some fifty teachers and children were at the school in Ban Sang district preparing for a sports day.

 

Suphap, 52, a teacher, said they had tried to secure the grandstand as the storm started but it proved impossible and everyone took cover in school buildings.

That meant there were no deaths or injuries.

 

Four sections came loose and blew into houses adjacent to the school nearly hitting a nearby shop.

 

It is thought that about 200,000 baht of damage was caused.
