Downtown Chiang Mai was hit by flash floods early Thursday following heavy rains overnight.
 

Several roads were under 20 to 40 centimetres of water, forcing the proprietors of kerbside shops to move their wares to higher levels.

 

Local authorities said the floods started at 3am. Most of it came from Doi Suthep, flooding the Mae Kha Canal and its branches, which overflowed into adjacent communities, including Sri Ping Muang, Nantharam and Fah Mai Pratu Kom.

 

Cyclists were forced off roads and vehicle engines stalled. Motorists rushing through the deluge only made matters worse for residents, sending the water into houses in their wake.

 

The road in front of the Chiang Mai College of Dramatic Arts near Kom Market was 20 to 30cm deep. Classes continued as scheduled, though few students were in attendance. Some parents bringing their children to the school simply turned around upon seeing the floodwaters.

 

Barriers were erected to close off a section of road in front of the Fah Mai Pratu Kom community and pumps were installed to direct water into the Mae Kha Canal.

 

Volunteers were seen removing trash from storm drain grids that was impeding drainage.

You appear to be one of those who blame Man for the change in weather when, in reality, it's a natural thing.  There have been 5 major Ice Ages in Earth's history, and they all happened long before Man ever arrived.  It's a Natural thing.  

 

Not this time .

Yeah! Mankind has nothing to do with climate change. 97% of those dumb scientists know nothing!

Yes, it is a natural occurrence. THAT HAS BEEN EXACERBATED BY MODERN TECH STARTING BACK IN THE 19TH CENTURY.

The 90% thing has been debunked so many times it is a wonder anyone still tries to claim it is real

99% are actually skeptics. The opposite of greeny claims.

"That “98% all scientists” referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered “yes”."

 

 

75 greeny scientists are the 98% alarmists.

 

31,000 skeptics lol

Among other of "those" who "blame Man" for changing weather patterns are well over 90 percent of the world's climate scientists, who have made a career of this and who know a great deal more than you or I. Thank you, but I will trust their science before I trust your opinion.

You said the right thing: who have made a career of this.

Not one of those career profs has ever been able to explain the earlier climate changes; there were no men then to get blamed.
