UbonEagle Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 No suprises here, this section of Ubon floods nearly every year, in fact could have been worse as the mrs reports the rain from TS Noru was no more than numerous other periods this wet season. Certainly has been a long and plentiful rain season there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
