Gecko123 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 "I got a bad feeling on this one" This thing looks like it's heading straight for my house. I hear it's gonna dump 10 cm (4 inches) of rain in some areas. How you guys holding up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted September 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Nice tracking map: https://zoom.earth/#view=16.29,104.09,6.26z/map=live (click on the dots) We are exactly in the path. Fortunately wind should calm down much. But more heavy rain expected from Thursday. Not much left to swamp and drown the harvest. Might become another bad year for the farmers. Today saw people with fishing rods at the rice fields. Edited September 26, 2022 by KhunBENQ 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flooding is not existent in our area. Just mud and puddles ???? Feel sorry for the farmers. I've weathered many typhoons (not many in Thailand, though). The wind speeds are the least of my worries. In my experience, a Cat. 5 storm was less to be feared that an almost-Cat. 4 (Cat. 3) storm. My theory about the reason why is that, while the wind will certainly cause some damage, it is the flooding that is the worst, damage-wise, and the super-high windspeeds of the Cat. 5 storms seem to cause the typhoon to drop its load while still at sea, bringing less water inland. That's just my theory--I don't know if others would see light in it; but my theory is based on personal experience. Being on the western side of the mountainous region separating Laos from Vietnam, we're unlikely to get much wind in Thailand, and the mountains will catch their fair share of the water, too. What we are getting right now, per the satellite imagery, is the cloud formations that are getting sucked toward the typhoon from further west of us. These were probably formed over the Indian Ocean, and are now heading toward the Pacific, passing over us into the cyclone. The typhoon itself will reach us in a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the locals, it's never happened.... ????⛵.... I'm in the same boat, house is on a meter high dirt foundation. No real risk of flooding in my immediate vicinity, but other areas, not so far away, really got hit last year. There's pretty bad flooding in some areas : Ayutthaya, Si Saket, Khon Kaen. One thing's for sure: these heavy rains and flooding are doing a lot of crop damage, and delaying late rainy season planting. Cassava rots if the field floods for any length of time, and rice doesn't handle floods very well. Corn and sugar seem to do OK. Thing is, ground's already super saturated, so another big storm is probably going to cause a lot of flooding.

Andycoops Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Cleared out all the drainage and gutters this morning as I live just south of Yasothon city and we could be in for some heavy rain. The predicted landfall is Da Nang about 500kms directly East of here tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob smith Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 look on the bright side, at least we will have plenty water to drink next year and no hose pipe bans when its cracking the flags! flooding, for all its devastation it brings is an important factor in replenishing the water reserves.

It doesn't do a lot for replenishing the supermarkets. Back in 2011 the distribution chain broke down due to flooding and most supermarket shelves were empty of bottled and canned goods. Getting hold of beer was a problem, what was available was being reserved for bars to try and keep them in business. Here in Chonburi we didn't fare too bad as there is a fair amount of local produce but some areas suffered quite a bit. "Important factors" are more important to some than others.

I first came to Thailand many years ago in late Sept. The days were bright and sunny with frequent rain. The rain however was heavy but brief and an hour later you would never have known. Nothing like the dense cloud and persistent rain seen in recent weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
