It seems that Hua Hin - Cha Am will be spared (yay for us). I wonder if the new phuket underpass will flood.

Phuket could be in for millions of Baht in improvements... ????

65 km/hr? I've played golf in worse than that in Melbourne.

It's more the 1m + of rainfall that's the worry.

 

Floods, flash floods, landslides etc.

True. I avoid playing in rain.

Forecast map for phuket is not good, not good atoll

 

It's going to be a lot worse here than in Samui

 

The tropical storm will slow down as it hits land before it reaches phuket

 

Phuket is going to receive the heaviest of the rain from the inner rainbands....Flooding going to be a certainty it would seem

 

BRace yourselfs........

I was planning to go to Tiger Muay Thai in 2 weeks. Should I care about this news? What's the consequences of heavy rain? Flooding, danger, what?

I think things will be back to normal by then.

Tired of waiting, off to wash the truck.

 

Stand by- it will come in 1 hour and 38 minutes,!

I decided to wash this Sunday. Have to do it at home though, for some reason all the car washes are closed on Sunday, which is exactly when most people have the day off and IMO want to wash the car.

Wind quite weird right now. No rain yet but it is near. We seem to be on the very far Western outer edge of the anti clock swirl.

Below is the latest radar image...

 

 

 

 

It seems like its now about to make landfall near Surat Thani, south of the gulf Islands.

This will bring it a little closer to Phuket as it crosses to sea again near Kao Lak.

Having lived a few years in Darwin I will start to worry if this wee bit of a blow reaches anywhere near the strength of the legendary "Cyclone Tracy"

Winds just started to get a lot stronger a moment a go. Perhaps this is a momentary thing or maybe it's the start what is there to come.

Hooooooo doggie. Ya'll getting' ready for Pabuk? If you're not, you should. Stock up now on beer and Slim Jims. Stay safe.

 

 

Nakhon Si Thammarat was affected by the storm. 

 

So far one dead fisherman, whose boat overturned by the waves.

 

Kamala Beach about 2 1/2 hours ago- swimmers in the water despite the red flags. No flags north of the cop shop though. Very light drizzle but wind picking up.

 

Was that it?

Apparently.

It's just off the coast of Kao Lak now and heading west. More rain still likely.

 

 

 

Some people seem almost disappointed it didn't hit Phuket. Personally I'm glad there was no death or destruction.

 

No doubt some will slam the authorities but I'm glad they prepared for this. it's Mother Nature and not a controllable event!

What cyclone?

 

 

 

A few minutes ago at Karon.

Khao Lak area.
