Southeast Asia Flooding

[glatt]

I've seen in a couple places that if you are thinking about getting any consumer electronics, better do it now. Lots of factories that provide parts like hard drives, are flooded and shut down, and supplies are going to run short for a while. Probably won't be normal again until the spring.

This neighborhood, Nava Nakhorn, is where they make Western Digital and Toshiba drives.

Thanks Spexx! Those are incredible pictures. Those poor people!

@ glatt - We probably don't have to worry too much about consumer electronics. There's always China.

I was in Microcenter last night, and saw a sign that read something like "due to the current shortage, please do not buy more than 2 hard drives at a time".
