Heat wave temporarily breaks with powerful storm

PATTAYA:--Thailand’s longest and strongest heat wave in 65 years temporarily broke with thunderclaps and a torrential downpour that reminded Pattaya residents how badly the city floods when it does rain.

Three hours of a raucous seasonal storm rocked Pattaya April 30, causing flooding and massive damage to roads and property. Floodwaters caused a large scaffolding to collapse at a condominium construction site on Thappraya Soi 11, smashing into the temporary homes of construction workers.

The scaffolding belonged to the TO Design Property 2013 Ltd., and after the area was flooded, it collapsed on the Chokdee Construction Ltd. worker’s camp on Thappraya Soi 11. No one was injured.

Is this a "weekly edition" reporting the events of April 30 which were covered widely in a Pattaya thread from April 30.

Slow news week and it is a good pic. Bonus if the idiot in the minibus flooded the engine
