Violent storms cause destruction across the country.
Storms Kill Three, Injure 10
During the first week of this month, 40 storms were recorded in 18 provinces, causing more than 30 deaths and damaging nearly 2,000 houses, according to a National Committee Disaster for Management report.
Keo Vy, the cabinet chief for the National Committee for Disaster Management, told Khmer Times last week that in the first four months of 2016, more than 1,200 houses and buildings were affected and more than 70 people were killed or injured by the wild weather.
“There were 233 houses completely destroyed, 1,022 houses were opened in the roof or wall, seven schools had their roofs damaged and another 16 administrative buildings and markets were slightly damaged, while 15 hectares of rubber plantations were damaged in Rattanakiri province’s O’Chum district,” Mr. Vy said.

Re: Violent storms cause destruction across the country.
The problem is that those houses have shoddy construction. I'm sorry for the people affected, but they need to build stronger hurricane-proof habitations.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
