Storm Damages StreetKIDS! Home

This morning we received a weather warning of a storm approaching our area in Phetchabun Province.
Storms in our area is not uncommon and temperatures can swing from 5 deg to 45deg in a matter of hours in certain cases.

By the time the storm warning came, there was too little time to do much but to keep the little ones safe while the storm passes through. The storm lasted only for a couple of hours but brought along strong winds and heavy rainfall.

My staff who was outdoors at the time of the storm said that it was so bad that you can hardly see the road when you're driving, much less the cars in front of you. Electrical were cut, water from the taps ran dry and internet was not accessible for hours.

After the storm passed, we inspected our properties for damage. Fortunately all was alright except for the STREETKIDS! home which suffered some damage. Here are some pictures that were taken at around 5pm.


The roofing in this area tore off leaving only the wooden frames intact.
This used to be our STREETKIDS! dining area, fortunately no one was around when the storm hit. The storm was so strong that the whole structure is now inclined to one direction and is no longer structurally sound.

The meteorological service predicts that the bad weather will continue till the 18th. 4 more days...
