190423 The Old Theater turned Fertilizer Warehouse Epilogue

There's a 2018 view at GOOGLE Maps

To me the scary part is this was a chemical fire. Much of the water used to extinguish this fire gets washed down the street drains and winds up at the nearby  Lake  (Nong Han). The lake is the city's water source.

I've been to similar such warehouses (fertilizer) within the city, no fire extinguisher in sight. Hazardous product  warehouses should be properly equipped such as sprinkler systems and chemical containment

Welcome to the Rainy Season Sampler

Thunder could be heard in the distance at 4 am.  It was about evening news time (5:30AM BKK time), when the rain started. 6:30 am electric service halted.
I have battery operated WIFI (AIS pocket WIFI) and my laptop is good for up to six hours. A USB fan and a gas stove to keep the coffee hot.
7:13 Electric service restored.

Comparatively it was a short power outage.  If your are 'battery ready,' you might want to download a few movies

A couple more hot days after midweek are in the forecast

Apparent Limited Attendance

Did not attend the Tha Rae Easter Parade as temperatures hovered over 110F for most of the afternoon. Also Have a bit of a sore throat with painful swallowing.  
A few of my friends made it to the hospital with heat related health problems.  I'll remain indoors or in the pool through most of next week.
