More Massive Flooding

So where is the biggest, worst, coldest, hottest, driest, wettest ever event happening today?  Today it happens to be on the other side of the globe in Thailand.

BANGKOK—Thai rescue teams battled to fend off a worsening humanitarian disaster Monday as fast-moving floodwaters that already have killed more than 260 people since July overwhelmed industrial zones north of Bangkok.

The floods—the country's worst in decades—have inundated 30 of Thailand's 77 provinces and submerged a land mass around 13 times the size of Hong Kong.

Economists said Thailand, the world's largest rice exporter, has long endured heavy rains and occasional flooding affecting agricultural harvests. But this time the sheer volume of the floodwaters, after a series of large storms and tropical depressions, is exacting a heavy toll on the country's industrial output and damage logistics.

Wow!  The world's largest rice exporter has just been hit by one of the worst floods ever.  I wonder if that could add to the already short food supplies...and bring about more famine?

The world is shaking.
