Considered Opinion Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Don't think they would have time to get drills. A hammer or 2 perhaps. One of the girls in a green shirt looked as if she may have been a "Tom". Pretty scary stuff. What happened to the water from the "waterspout"? How far from the sea is the school? Bet the cleaners whinged no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookiki Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Waterspouts do occur at sea. On land they are called tornados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Waterspouts do occur at sea. On land they are called tornados. Ah but what about a waterspout which hits land on the coast, which does happen...what they called ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRaymond Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Pretty scary. I hope no kids were hurt, looks like a lot of moving hazards there! The video's name say's 9 kids were hurt, but I hope it was just minor injuries. It must have been terrifying for those kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrad Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Nothing like having a plan in case of severe weather; but then again, we don't need no nanny state. I guess, kind of like wearing helmets, nothing serious is ever going to happen, so why take precautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Tamson Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 How scary for those kids, and their teachers! It looked as if they all coped pretty well, given the suddenness of the situation and seeing how some pretty heavy objects were being thrown around. Well done kids! I hope the 9 weren't too seriously injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Mamma Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Where in Trat was this? Trat Province or town? Does anyone know? I think it might be a small school on the beach 20 kilos north of Klong Yai. One of the few roads to the talay from the highway near the "narrowest spot in Thailand" monument.

We are on Koh Mak... not far away. Aside from the weather, it looks like a very nice school with nice tables, a computer room, nice grass, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noitom Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 It looks like none of the children were killed or injured. It also reflect how poorly set up Thailand is for property security and crowd crowd disaster control and management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyuk Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Waterspouts do occur at sea. On land they are called tornados. Ah but what about a waterspout which hits land on the coast, which does happen...what they called ? When a water spout runs ashore it dumps all of it's water in the spout within a hundred meters of the shoreline. When the water hits the deck the Tornado usually continues though sometimes fails concurrent with it's loss of water. The dynamics are the same whether water spout of tornado. Over water the tornado lifts water. Over land a tornado lifts debris. All the same to a tornado. The quantity of water instantaneously dumped after landfall of the spout may be upwards of thousands of cubic meters of water.
