We’re about a month away from the end of the rainy
season here in Thailand. Those tropical rains can really come in a rush, and
flash-flooding is common around this time. After five months of frequent rain,
the infrastructure to carry off the water can be temporarily over-matched. This
YouTube video is a good picture of the results. Generally it all settles down
within a couple of hours. It just takes the infrastructure a little time to catch up.
It’s just a case of “life in the big city.” I remember
an underground comic that had a cover where two Wall Street types were coming
up from the subway onto a New York intersection that was being torn apart by a tyrannosaurus
rex. “Jeez,” says one guy, “if it’s not one thing, it’s another.”
