Jai Dee Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Flash floods hit Prachuap Khirikhan Prachuap Khirikhan - A flash flood from the Tanaosri Mountains hit Bang Saphan district Tuesday morning following two days of heavy rains. Pradit Yamanan, Bang Saphan district chief, announced through a local radio station at about 7 am, urging people living in low-lying areas to pack and evacuate to higher ground as a run-off from the mountains was approaching the district. Schools in the district were closed and inpatients at the Bang Saphan district hospital were transferred to other hospitals in neighbouring districts. The provincial governor also instructed local government agencies to move in to provide immediate help to the local people left stranded at their houses because of the floods.
