THAI FLOOD
On October the 30th there was a flood in Bangkok ,Thailand. The people there have to use makeshift boats to get around. Overall the damage from the flood could be $6 billion. The floods killed at least 373 people countrywide and affected 9.5 million people. The government is trying to evacuate more people. Central Bangkok avoided the floods but the districts were in waist deep water. The government has said this is the worst flood in half a century.
My Opinion
I think this is a terrible thing to happen and I wish I knew how to help. I hope just a small part is flooded not the whole Bangkok. I am concerned about the health problems that can come from the dirty water. I am also concerned about the diseases because it is a highly populated area.
