Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Flooding in Thailand is forcing at least seventeen factories in a major industrial zone to close because workers are unable to reach the plants.
Officials say that the plants in the Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate east of the capital city of Bangkok have requested the help of the country’s Navy to pump the water out of their buildings. Workers have been unable to report for work because all roads into the facility are covered by floodwater.
“There is flood water outside the premises and on some surrounding roads,” Wilbun Krommadit of Amata said in a statement. “[The flooding is] blocking entry for workers who are unable to easily get to work.”
More than half of the country has experienced flooding this year although officials are stating they do not expect them to reach the levels of the 2011 floods that devastated the country. The facilities at the Industrial Estate cover 7,450 acres and produce parts for the major Japanese automakers.
Krommadit told Reuters that more than 100 pumps have been making a difference with the floodwater, lowering the levels at least six inches.
The flooding in Thailand has killed at least 76 people and more than 3 million have been displaced by the water.
