Thailand Flooding

[knocker]

In what should be one of the hottest, driest times of the year, rainfall as high as 50 inches within little more than a week has left swaths of southern Thailand under water. At least 15 people were killed in the flooding according to reports Thursday.

Residents and tourists were stranded, as ferries and flights had to be canceled.

The Thai military was involved in rescues. They also helped to search for victims of a deadly mudslide that struck the province of Krabi.
