Nam-Too-em!!

Nam-too-em, or flooding. 

My first natural disaster happened when I was in Thailand, and it was flooding.  Granted, I didn't get the opportunity to see a lot of the flooding, since it was deemed "unsafe" for me, but I did get to see a lot.

My town of Surat Thani, only got a few inches of water, which cancelled school for about a week...Other places weren't as lucky and had water chest high. 

 This is the majority of water that I got to see, a few inches of water on the side of the road. 

 More water, though this picture shows if flooding a ditch.

 Haha more water..all of these pictures were taken out of a moving car, so theres not much to say.

A car going through the water :) haha.  I wish I could say more about what these pictures are about, but its just water.  Haha.  I could go on and on, making things up, but its not worth it. 

 This is something that I did not see, but I thought I'd show you how bad it got in other areas of Thailand.  I stole these pictures off of google, so I don't own them.  I do wonder how the cars moved with that much water...it can't be good for the engine....

 Showing more flooding in the streets.  It was really weird watching the television and seeing all the water.  I didn't understand how it could get that high and just stay there...It still boggles my mind. 

This was actually taken in Ko Samui, the island close to my house.  I thought it was a funny picture so I put it up.  Haha. 

So that was my first natural disaster, though I didn't really get to see much of it.  I thought I'd share it with you.
