Buri Ram hit by summer storm
By The Nation

BURI RAM:
A storm yesterday swept through Satuek district in Buri Ram, damaging 140 homes and flattening more than 10 rai of rubber trees, but causing no casualties.

Provincial authorities are considering calling it a disaster in order to qualify for relief funds from the central government.

Ten houses were completely blown away when the storm swept through six villages in tambon Nikhom. Property damage was put at Bt1 million and relief is being given to the occupants of the destroyed houses.

Local administrative officials have provided initial relief to those affected, and more aid is being sought from the central government as funds currently available were not sufficient, local officials said.

More than 400 homes had been damaged by seasonal storms since the hot season began in mid-March. Further damage was also reported in Laharn Sai, Nang Rong and Muang districts in the northeastern province.
