george Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Bangkok on alert for further sea level rise in 30 at risk areas BANGKOK: -- The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) announced the sea level would be watched until November 21, following the highest rise on Monday to 2.17 metres above mean sea level. Bangkok City Clerk Pongsak Semsan ordered over 30 at risk areas affected by the high sea level to be on alert for a further rise, by putting sand embankments and building wooden bridges. The order was passed on to related agencies and officials were assigned to facilitate residents wanting to move their belongings and possessions. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department warned Monday the impact of tropical storm "Noul" was about to make landfall in Vietnam and would impact Thailand through most of the week. Anucha Mokhaves, director-general of the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, said Eastern and Northeastern provinces would experience more rainfall. The already prevailing northeast monsoon over the Gulf of Thailand would strengthen with waves above two metres through the week. Mr. Anucha also warned residents in affected provinces of possible flash floods and landslides over the next few days. All ships were advised to proceed with caution during the period. -- TNA 2008-11-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plachon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 This, together with the Brown Cloud of Death over Asia, is too much for one day. Brown rain next - nice! Better than purple rain I fancy. Could never stand that Prince geezer. Once experienced yellow rain in Seoul. Appararently was fine dust that had been blown over from Gobi desert, picking up a heap of Chinese industrial pollution along the way. Dare say it is connected with the "Brown Cloud of Death". Either way, there are issues here and now that need to be dealt with in East Asia, long before potential climate problems 70 years down the line.
