The Deluge

I live in a rural area south of Pattaya in Chonburi, Thailand. Two days ago the rain began. My cisterns filled, the frogs began croaking, snakes slithered out of the bamboo to get the frogs. My wife was caught out in the open on the motorbike and returned home soaked to the skin. Pattaya some 15 kilometers from here found itself under water as the drains could not handle the massive amounts of water.
