sbk Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Those were some big waves in Nakhon. Three-metre tidal waves yesterday swept through 3 kilometres of the beachfront Tha Sala district in Nakhon Si Thammarat, damaging 40 homes and shops as well as prompting hectic evacuation efforts.The waves, blown inland by a seasonal but premature monsoon, also threatened to capsize 300 fishing trawlers anchored nearby, forcing crew members to hurriedly push them ashore. The storm, which lasted for an hour, brought with it waves that crashed barely 50 metres away from the main road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
