If we drive over to our old village we can already see the damage to rice fields, this is just a small part of what the floods are ALREADY doing

 

(Please note: This is a picture taken before the storm Noru hit, so the water will be much higher now)

That is my point!

We know there is going to be severe damage but they do NOT know what the TOTAL damage will be yet!

Of course no one knows what the actually damage will be, but they can make an estimate (and that is what they did)

What is the point of an estimate two days before they will know the actual results of the damage?

 

The farmers already know what damage they have suffered and in the next two days they will know the total actual damage!

Beats me, my guess it has to do with TiT ????

 

edit: but that said, talked to my BIL today and he is no idea how the rice harvest will go especially if the water doesn’t get any lower in the fields because then harvesters will have trouble.
