100 houses damaged after storm hits Nakhon Ratchasima districts
by Prasit Tangprasert
A tropical storm has left more than 100 houses damaged after it hit Nakhon Ratchasima province, north-east of Bangkok, yesterday.
Nakhon Ratchasima’s Governor Wichian Chantanothai says… “We are in the process of surveying damages.”
He made the comment as he was handing out relief items to storm victims in Sikhiu district. He said authorities planned to ask soldiers to help with repairing the homes of victims.
Nong Sung, Chaloem Phra Kiat, and Nong Bunnak districts were also affected by the storm.
The Governor advised people to check the structure of their houses because there could be several more storms during the season change (between hot season and wet season).
“Local administrative bodies, meanwhile, must check billboards to ensure they are well secured,” he said.
Several big boards have previously fallen down during storms in Thailand, causing both casualties and property damage.
The province has hot and dry conditions expected over the next few days.
