So you didn't notice that Thailand manufactured nearly a third of the world's hard disks and a substantial amount of other electronics... all covered in the news on TV, the net and even in newspapers... so, yes, a flood that was several months in length and overwhelmed the countries flood defences, can seriously affect the supply of many components... there isn't a huge oversupply of manufacturing capabilities and much of the output is pre-ordered so any shortage has a major knock-on effect...
