Caught in a Trap

posted Friday, 9 May 2008

I had planned going out today, but ...

The local necromancers, otherwise known as the Weather Bureau, did announce that there would be thunderstorms, but I ignored them - as usual. Around noon, it started to pour and within minutes the lane outside Chez Laowai was flooded. Again.

Fortunately, I had just come back from the shop with a supply of beer. Seconds later the shop was under water. The debris beside the shop is their kitchen. You can just make out their gas bottle floating away.

 
Lane 1

 Lane 2

Here is a short, confused video. In the video, you can see the boss man of the beer shop attempting to rescue bits of his shop. It ends with his wife yelling abuse at some arrogant SUV driver who sped through the flood water, setting off a tsunami and soaking everyone. The argument went on for ages and eventually the cops were called in.
