As I type the wind is howling and the rain is beating against the door. It has been pretty dull weather for a week or so now, but the hardcore weather hit yesterday morning and has not stopped since. Has Monsoon come early?
Boats have ceased going to and from the island, people are stocking up on food, so the next couple of days should be very interesting.
When we woke this morning the electric was off (not an unusual event). There was also no gas, so we called the landlord who asked a very interesting question... "Is next door there?" "Is your house still standing?" These questions worried us, so instead of staying indoors, we went to Mae Haad have a look around... we had been wet for 36 hours, so a bit more rain would not hurt.
Arriving in Mae Haad, we came across a scene of destruction. Parts of road have broken up, signs blown apart. People were busy trying to clear the roads from all the sand washed down.
All boats (pleasure or business) are cancelled... we are on our own for a couple of days....
I went out with Nathan for a walk to look around... Meeting people who have been here 12 years and never seen it so bad.... its some crazy weather... and the forecast is for more..
After spending most of the day in the Crystal area, we went home to check the damage.... Thankfully none yet...
