nikster Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) One more from Chang Klan road.. It's getting to the level that you don't really want to drive through it anymore. So I'm going to hurry up to get downtown now. With any luck I will be stuck there, meaning a great excuse to not come home tonight. Yeah - that really doesn't look that good anymore. Whoa! Night bazaar is flooded then I guess - not going there, just using it as an indicator for how bad the flooding is? Or wait the above image is near the Rati Lanna - all the way up - or down, whatever you prefer - Chang Klan... Going to go out check Mahidol/HD road where I have some land - according to the flood map, that area should be flooded by now. However, they claim they made some improvements to the canals around there... Edited September 28, 2011 by nikster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhawk_usa Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 You know, I truly don't mean to be gloomy here, but I am a bit worried about the next tropical storm that will be on coming ashore in Vietnam on Saturday (Typhoon Nesat). This storm is much larger and more powerful than the remnants of the current one, and it looks to me like Northern Thailand could get hit again with Nesat's remnants around Monday or so. Satellite photo of SE Asia and Nesat: http://www.weather.c...ailand+THXX0002 Nesat track: http://www.usno.navy...ings/wp2011.gif And then look at this, yet another one (Nalgae) tracking behind Nesat: http://www.usno.navy...ings/wp2211.gif I've seen a number of places that are incorrectly saying the current rain and flood situation is from Typhoon Nesat. As you say, any residual effects from Nesat won't reach here until at least Saturday..... another good site....http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMwanderer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It seems Ban Mae Tae still hasn't peaked and I can see more storms brewing ready to rain here again - the river keeps rising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Only gone up a few cms in last hour but the extra flow from the previous hour (20m3/sec) would fill an Olympic-sized pool every 2 minutes. Total flow about every 3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firelily Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 which bridges are still ok at this kind of water level? possible to pass Mengrai / Nawarat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMwanderer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Nawarat is out and Nakornping isn't under but the roads on the West side as soon as you get across are quickly flooding. GIve me a second and I can post a picture.

Ricardo Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 PTIS just sent out an email, will be closed tomorrow (as well as today), with the approach-road flooding from the local small river, but the school itself is OK so far, having raised their flood-defenses an extra meter after the local-flood a few years back. No problems where we are ourselves, NE of Mae-Jo. Good Luck to everyone near the river ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta22 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Anyway have a figure how high the water will be hitting and what the level . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanuman1 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've heard a new peak is expected at 2-3a.m. as water hits town from opened dams. On Mahidol road, SE Ciang Mai, people are parking and leaving their cars in petrol stations and the like to keep them dry from what they expect will be higher water levels tonight. This was near Don Chan intersection (nr Big C). They are anticipating flooding in the area east of the Mae Ping river, approaching where the railway line runs north/south. This has been dry up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta22 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If water is going at a high of 0.05 meter Per hour base on last reading at 6 pm @ 4.77 meter we might be looking at @ 5.17 m hm... the last flood on 2005 hit a high of about 4.9+ that would be an extra feet if anyone have a better number or more info . kindly keep it updated thanks . MY house is in Zone 7 but i worry for my friends in zone 5 and 6 which is around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throatwobbler Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It's now raing heavily out Doi saket way. The small river near us has nearly burst it's banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Lots of rumours but the only facts are the river levels and the trends. I can't access either of the water-level monitoring sites now to read those facts. Can anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyp2 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm in zone 7 according to the map and the water is just entering my kitchen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can't view either site with river levels. Night Bazaar is near waist level. Had to get down onto Mahidol to cross the road home, and between Chiang Mai Land and the river water was flowing onto the road, not sure if there was a khlong there overflowing or where the water was coming from. Traffic was horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMwanderer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can someone tell me, what's the chances of the electricty and water being cut off in the flood zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just to show that this is *** NOT *** a case of "Chiang Mai" being flooded, this is 6pm at the moat. Also shows that the people who built this town 715 years ago knew what they were doing; clearly you get flooding near the river when it bursts it's banks, but the actual town is solid as a rock!

Semper Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 but the actual town is solid as a rock! Would this include Chang Klan Rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 By contrast Winnie, the Night Bazzar and businesses on Chan Klan, and Watkate, both areas where many many farangs live, is quite heavily flooded - the center of the old city may be fine but surrounding areas are much less so.

bubba Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Most of you probably have this link, but in case you don't, here is the weather radar loop from Lamphun, showing Chiang Mai. http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/lmpLoop.php It looks like you have another small line of storms headed your way right now. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) but the actual town is solid as a rock! Would this include Chang Klan Rd? Let me repeat this with the benefit of the entire post in context: Just to show that this is *** NOT *** a case of "Chiang Mai" being flooded, this is 6pm at the moat. Also shows that the people who built this town 715 years ago knew what they were doing; clearly you get flooding near the river when it bursts it's banks, but the actual town is solid as a rock! Clearly this refers to the old town, within the moat. There was no Chang Klan / night bazar 715 years ago. Duh. Actually everything West of the Mae Kha stream / Kamphaeng Din Wall is fine.

chiang mai Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 A friends business on Chan Klan, half a block after the Empress Hotel, reports water is two plus feet deep, this report five minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
