Reports confirm that a 70-year-old man, Jamlong Boonkong, was seriously hurt after being cut by shattered glass. He was taken to Buddhachinaraj Hospital for urgent treatment, suffering from several wounds.
Community leaders and residents moved quickly to assess the damage. Emergency help has been requested from both provincial and district authorities. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, along with the Provincial Electricity Authority, were asked to support families affected by the severe weather.
The tornado was brought on by unstable weather linked to the approaching Wipha storm, which has been moving near the lower northern region of Thailand. This shift in weather conditions resulted in the severe damage seen across the area.
Tornadoes are not common in Thailand, but they do happen. Most are linked to strong thunderstorms or tropical storms during the rainy season from May to October. Compared to places like the United States, tornadoes in Thailand usually cause less harm, with most rated as EF0 or EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
Stronger tornadoes have been seen, but they remain unusual. Waterspouts, which are tornadoes that form over water, show up more often along Thailand’s coasts, especially in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
