THREE HOURS of heavy rain this morning (Apr. 30) led to many areas of Chonburi’s Si Racha district being damaged with cars seen floating away in floodwaters, Thai Rath newspaper said.

 

At around noon reporters in this district said the torrential rain had also toppled trees with some falling heavily on cars damaging them.

 

Rescuers of Sawang Prateep Sriracha Foundation were alerted of  a man trapped in his car that had plunged into a canal in Surasak subdistrict and went there in a boat to help him.

A bit just out of town. I was told some factories got flooded at one of the   Amata   Industrial sites.

Thunderstorms do have a way of dropping lots of rain or nothing just like in our part of PKK. Lots of heavy wind, lightning and thunder were the story for us. May those affected by the flooding obtain the help needed to repair then prepare for the rainy season.
