sandyf Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 My wife told me start of the month it would rain on the 13th, very cloudy and humid yesterday and I thought a day early. Thunderstorm came about 3am this morning. Not before time, our tanks were getting a bit low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Bit of rain this morning in Wiang Chiang Rung. Dogs had to scamper extra hard to Grandma's house for their ( second) breakfast. Just enough fell to wash the dust off the roof, so next time we can collect and use what falls. That will be handy as we have had no running water for a couple of weeks. Nothing to do with a shortage - the Poo Yai Ban can't fix the pump ' cos he has spent all his budget on a new speaker system around the village!

What is important though is the availability of replacement filter cartridges in the future. Replacement filter cartridges for these are reasonably priced and readily available online. If you need one today to tide you over, Makro on the Hangdong Road have been stocking a cheaper unit under 1000B with a remote but they have been selling out quickly. Got an aircon? You could buy some 3m filtrette to cover your standard aircon filter and run your unit on fan only. That will work well enough. You can normally buy that in most supermarkets, Homepro etc. The best time to buy any of this is in the middle of rainy season, it can be a lot cheaper. Er, wrong thread perhaps?

nigelforbes Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) The most powerful storm I've ever seen, just ripped through Mae Rim. Power poles, trees, my sala, all flattened, it's like a war zone and I've been through hurricanes in Florida, this was just as bad. Scary stuff Edited March 18, 2023 by nigelforbes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBob Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yea, biggest wind I've ever seen here in CM. A piece of somebody's roof landed in our porch area. And I'm told that billboards and other stuff went down near Airport Central Plaza.. Thankfully, we didn't lose power.....although a lot of places are still without it.

Big and strong at Ruam Chok about 3:30 pm. Hail. The storm seems to have cut a fairly narrow path. We're East of the main road thru Mae Rim but north of the samoeng turn. The storm came at us from the south east, so I guess it hit san sai before us, presumably ruam chok before that, where it went afterwards, who knows.
