Flood Warnings In South Isaan

[Gimbo]

Just watched Channel 7 News with the wife, and they showed pictures of flooding elsewhere and according to the wife they expect Surin and Buriram districts to be affected next.

I am in northern part of Changwat Buriram on the Buriram side of the Nam Moon river, and the river is about to break it's banks. In some places the water is starting to flow into the surrounding rice paddies.

Now my wife said earlier today that she has never seen the water come up to the village, but that TV report has her a bit worried.

I am a newbie up here, so have no past experience on this. Our house is only a meter above the paddies. So Thinking abaout getting some sand bags just to be on the safer side...

You can track any storms using the radar pictures from Khon Kaen:

The time displayed on the radar image is in GMT so add 7 hours for our local thai time.

(do double check the date as sometime its a few days wrong as someone has forgotten to plug in the PC to communicate with the TMD ) T.I.T.
