CHAIYAPHUM: Summer storms hit 40 villages in two tambons of Bamnet Narong district of this central northeastern province on Monday afternoon, damaging about 200 houses.
The storms moved in about 5pm, bringing heavy rain with hail and swirling winds in some areas. Many trees and power posts fell, causing a blackout in many villages.
Hardest-hit were villages in tambon Ban Chuan and tambon Ban Phet, where sheets of roofing were swept off many houses by strong winds, sending residents scurrying to shelter with their relatives.
