Cyclone Nargis

Whilst cyclone Nargis in Burma has been tragic and devastating, its impact has reached the village of Thamuang and 'our home' in particular.

The small yellow and white area on the right of the picture is just about over Thamuang!

News has just come through that the torrential rain in north Thailand has caused damage to the 'make tall' flood defenses.

This is the wall constructed to keep the flood water out! Somehow it managed to keep the flood water in and the pressure caused a leak and damaged the wall. The extent is, apparently, not too great but enough to get the builders back to repair it. My main concern was the house itself might be affected but 'San the builderman' says everything is OK.

The rain was apparently incessant for 48 hours and there was far too much even for the rice fields.

Khamma will be back in Thamuang on Sunday take over supervision.
