Farmers are inspecting the damage as they begin counting heavy losses ahead of the harvest season. The storm hit Moo 2 village in tambon Thung Nonsee between 2pm and 3.30pm, bringing intense winds that uprooted durian trees, sent nearly 10,000 fruits crashing to the ground, and damaged several homes. “About ten trees were uprooted and between 5,000 and nearly 10,000 durians were lost,” he said, adding that authorities are coordinating assistance. Cherdchai Chaemchoi, 46, said the gusts were so violent his durian trees were nearly toppled. You can’t eat it, can’t fry it, can’t even use it for ice cream.
