snoop1130 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 File photo The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has taken steps, including draining water out of canals in and around the city and procuring 2.5 million sandbags to reinforce flood walls, to brace for heavy rain and possible waterway overflows induced by tropical storm Noru, which is expected to hit some north-eastern provinces this Thursday. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said today (Monday) that, according to their scenario planning, the most worrisome aspects of the storm are the runoffs from the Pasak reservoir in Lop Buri and from the Chao Phraya reservoir, which will put pressure on the eastern part of Bangkok and both sides of the Chao Phraya River. Water runoffs from the Pasak reservoir will be drained through the Lam Pla Thio and Phra Ong Chao Chaiyanuchit canals to prevent it from overflowing.

Yet another example of the world stopping outside Bangkok! The article states "tropical storm Noru, which is expected to hit some north-eastern provinces this Thursday." North-eastern provinces are already inundated with water and already have floods, but not a mention in the article about preparations in Isaan! 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 13 hours ago, grandpa said: North-eastern provinces are already inundated with water and already have floods Not where I am in Kalasin Province. Apart from about a month when the rain disappeared we've had a pretty decent rainy season, a couple of heavy storms but nothing dramatic. This coming storm looks like will make it a bit soggy for a day or two, but I'm not in the market for a boat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecasts for our area are not dramatic. 20 to 40 mm. Let's hope that they hold true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that this article is in the Bangkok sub-forum? There is another article dealing with this storm in the main news section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only interested in the NE when it's time to vote for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
