The heavy rainfall in Pattaya last Friday brought many hardships to thousands of people whose homes were flooded, inflicting tremendous damage to their properties and livelihoods.
Hundreds of cars were also damaged when they were submerged under water for an extended period. One would think that in these extremely difficult economic times, the added misfortunes to test one’s resilience are really not needed.
But for some, the thunderstorms and heavy rainfall came as a blessing. The deluge fills water sources such as ponds and khlongs to the brim and, with the force of the overflow, carries along hundreds of fish from their natural habitat into the sewers and onto the streets.
Last Friday, during and after the downpour, a group of seasoned local residents were quick to grab the opportunity to make the most of the situation. Spreading out along Sukhumvit highway just outside a fenced off plot of land that had a huge natural pond on its grounds, the fishermen cast their nets into the flooded road and set fish traps in the overflowing sewers.
A natural disaster is a serious adverse event caused by natural processes on Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, rain, hail, wildfires, waves, wind, snow, weather, and other geological processes.
