Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about.

Fifteen years ago having a beer on the Riverside on lunch time l saw one slowly running up the centre of the river until the rivers split where it collapsed. This was before the advent of phones with cameras so l dont have a record apart from my memory

What protection do the local Khmer have for tornadoes?

I haven’t seen any storm cellar/underground cement basements, reinforced bathtubs, wide underpasses, or any of the typical tornado protection construction in the Kingdom of Wonder.

Water spouts. Very common on the lake in storm season, rare on the coast.
No tornados, cyclones, typhoons, tzunamis, vocanoes or earthquakes in the KOW.
Just too much lighting for my liking.

I just love to watch a nice Kansas or Oklahoma or Texas tornado. From a good distance.
