thaicbr Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Anyone else using the free elevation app for iPhone? Curious to know if it's accurate. My house is showing an above sea level elevation of 7.2m (ASL). I am about to find out if it is accurate as 7.2 ASL is about the highest elevation I could find in the area and the water just arrived down the street. double check it on google earth... where i am is about 7.5m ASL.

ETatBKK Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 for those in Watacharapol and neighbourhood last night I left the house and took 4 hours to Kamphaeng Saen at Nakorn Pathon ( via Rama 9 bridge > Rama 2 > motorway 35 > motorway 4 ). I have a business travel next Friday and if flooded at Watcharapol no way I could catch the itinerary. today the mo baan Noble Geo / Noble Wana ( at Ruam Mit Phatthana ) start warning residents for clearing ground floor and moving cars away. neighbours said more mo baan sois with drain spillage, even the mo baan pumping water to the canal. MAIN CONCERN - Hok Wa is leaking now and possibly breach. the massive water may arrive Watcharapol 5-yaek in hours and the area will be paralysised. well, it is a very sensible local assumption.

ETatBKK Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 not sure about iPhone apps, but Garmin driving GPS has a tolerance of +/- 6m. I have another Sunnto GPS and its tolerance is +/- 3m. critical enough for a above-water or below-water error :-( Anyone else using the free elevation app for iPhone?

tominbkk Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Watcharaphon: ---Just had a ghastly but quick rain/thunder storm. Some pooling of water in the village, but they are draining it now and it is going down. I am in Narasiri village by the 5 Yaek. ---Water has risen considerably since early afternoon, large pools now by Wattana Kosin School, the sports club, and by the 'lake' after Palm Lake Resort. ---Still, could make it as far as the restaurants, water is getting deeper though. ---Army truck stationed at the 5 Yaek for emergency measures. ---Everything ready to evacuate at a moment's notice, will wait until the last minute, but ready to go if we have to.

poochai Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Announcements were just made 18:00 over the tannoy (sp?) on Onnut Soi 44 (the soi that joins Onnut with Sukhumvit 101/1)that those wanting to be evacuated should sign up at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. I assume that the emergency center in that area is either at Wat Chiratham temple or the temple school. Do they know something we don't? I cycled around the area today and the klongs were not overly full. the authorities will be opening the sluice gates tomorrow evening to let the water out.

I found another way (my company prohibits Google Earth). Go to Google Maps then right click and choose "what is here". It will give you the coordinates in the menu box where you search. Go to this page http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/elevation and enter the latitude and longitude numbers at the bottom of the page where is says "Single-point elevation lookup". You can just copy what Google Maps gives and paste it in the box. BTW, thanks to everyone for the reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleddy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Vipavadi 16, south of Central Lad prao, near Thai Airways HQ. Big storm/rain but stopping now. No other flooding apart from usual rain flooding about 1 hour after. Seems normal, which means that nothing coming down from Don Muang yet.

Hok Wa already effectively slow down the north-south flow of water, yet it reaches to its limit and start to leak. consider the amount of water from Rangsit and Sai Mai, it has a good reason to listen to the locals !
