The wind sounded like jet planes taking off constantly. Was living in a caravan at the time so doubt if you would know the difference between 100 & 90 km/h wind & rain. I hope Samui does not lose its electricity for too long as there a friends there. I most certainly do, I've been at sea in yachts and fishing boats in winds from gale force 8 to 11 force 8 = 62-74km/h force 11 = 103-117km/h on several occasions & on land right up to force 12 hurricane strength greater than 118km/h.

NCC1701A Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 looks like max wind speed at land fall. 50 knots with 65 knot gusts. One knot equals 1.852 KPH. So 50 knots per hour X 1.852 equals 92.6 KPH or 57.53 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent a little bit of time in boats, but nothing like you describe, and surfed 15 ft waves, but would not do what you have done. I thought your original post might have been flippant so my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to ask if you would share the link for the storm tracker you are using please? I have search the Joint Typhoon Warning Center but not seeing the same tracking map. Thanks for sharing mate. There is an app called Rainviewer that is available from both Apple Store and Google Play store for phones. It has a good radar view of approaching weather.
