MESmith Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The sounders are saying at 8 AM 3.06 M and flow at 314. www.tmd.go.th/en is saying YTD for rain is 926.9 mm and should be at 890.26 mm. Plus 36.64 mm. It feels like most of that rain has fallen in the last 7 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time this year it has been that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 From what I have noticed over the past few weeks, it takes about 6 hours for the peak height reached at San Sai to reach Nariwat Brridge. So it looks like there is a surge coming down river. I have no financial stake in this except living in the Changklan area! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 My interpretation of the chart photographed by Greenside (page 5 this thread), is that a depth of 4m at San Sai, results in 3.7m at Narawat Bridge, 6 - 7 hrs later. Highest, latest reading at San Sai is 3.35m, so still a fair way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MESmith Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) 9cm rise at Narawat bridge between 10am & 11am according to the hydro website. And the level is still rising upstream. And a big increase in discharge volume. Edited September 17, 2010 by MESmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 About 3 PM today, near the Floral Condo, a warning came over the loudspeakers that flooding in the area was forecast within the next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throatwobbler Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 In the last hour there has been a drop in the level at Sansai. Maybe we will get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Looks to be getting very close to 3.70m. Any live updates really appreciated. I live in Cnangklan area, but am bedsitting my youngest in hospital. will need to arrange moving things if much water comes over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throatwobbler Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Well the water has been dropping quickly at Sansai, about 6 hours before Nawarat Bridge gets it. The levels at Nawarat hod been mirroring those at Sansai a quick raise and then a levelling of. A fall should be next. Having said all that though we have now got Torrential rain near Doi Saket so this could alter things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Well the river got to within 12cm at Narawat of flooding at 1am. Dropped by 1cm at 2am, so it looks like they all buggered off for the weekend. Not exactly POETS day, but hardly what you would hope for in a near crisis!

Greenside Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Nice picture, canuckamuck . Seems that the immediate crisis has receded with a drop of 23cm since midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiWx Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Nice picture, canuckamuck . Seems that the immediate crisis has receded with a drop of 23cm since midnight. I was showing canuckamuk's nice pic to my Thai wife and she explained to me that Thai authorities have to block/regulate the river's flow downstream to prevent further flooding down country. Perhaps that's another reason for it being so close to overflowing up here.?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 According to the authorities the river at Narawat Bridge topped out at midnight last night at 3.57m and a flow of 421. At 10 AM it is at 3.30 m and flow of 364. A report from Phrao, no rain last night or today. So Mr. G you may have to go buy some real fish for your FC.
