MARKET TORNADO
During the weekend, an open air market in Thailand’s city of Samut Sakhon was hit by a powerful tornado. A number of video clips were widely shared online showing a storm developing before hitting “Yamyen Market” and ripping a kid’s bouncy castle from its moorings and launching it into the sky, killing sixty five year old Amporn Thiansiri, a market employee, who was cleaning it at the time. Amporn was found dead in a restaurant near the market. The storm also damaged several houses nearby but no one else was reported injured. The market was forced to close for a day for repairs and has now reopened.
