Heavy floodings hit 7 northeastern provinces

 

 

Persistent heavy rain and the overflow of water from the Mekong River and its tributaries have caused severe flooding in seven provinces in the Northeast, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department director-general Chayapol Thitisak said this morning.

 

The seven provinces are Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, Amnat Charoen, Ubon Ratchathani, Bung Kan, Sakon Nakhon and Roi-et.

 

In Nakhon Phanom, eight districts — Muang, Renu Nakhon, Pla Pak, Tha Uthen, Phon Sawan, That Phanom, Ban Phaeng and Nakae — have been flooded, affecting 398 villages in 56 tambons and 128,098 rai of farmland.

I just haven't seen Article 44 being invoked yet, banning flooding.
