Members may have noticed my absence the past week. Last Saturday afternoon a terrible hot season storm hit the area where I live, southwest of Chiang Mai. It only lasted about half an hour, but the area was severly damaged, electricity poles down everywhere, and trees either uprooted or large branches broken off. As far as I know no-one was killed, but I heard some people were injured by flying debris. Luckily my house only sustained relatively minor damage (some nearby houses lost their whole roof), but many trees in my garden were battered. The electricity was off for 4 days, and is still prone to power cuts lasting from between a second and maybe 1 hour. My internet connection was only restored yesterday afternoon, and I am still trying to catch up. I will post some photos later, after I upload them to imgur.
Adam.

Here are some photos: Some of the damage in my garden:    We had to cut the fallen bamboo clump in half just so I could get my pick-up out of the house and go to eat somewhere that had electricity:  My son's trampoline was moved 20 metres and dumped in a mangled mess:  Tree branches and electricity poles blocking my lane:  The shelter at the entrance on the main road completely collapsed:  Mangled electricity poles on the main road:   The sports complex at a housing estate about 300 metres from my house:  Adam. |
