Gonzo the Face Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If anyone would want or need a reminder the Great Flood of 05 was one year ago today. As fate would have it the river is again on the rise. The Hydro site has kicked in and records a 9cm river rise in the 3 hrs between 6AM - 9AM this morning. Received a call from a friend in Phrao and he informed me that they had rain all night and there were flood conditions all around. This usually means somewhere around 12 hours later we have a severe rise in river levels . For those interested, keep the old peepers open. gonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In front of my condo at the Rama IX bridge.

Ajarn Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) I'd suggest it was simply coincidence regarding flooding between Chiang Mai and Phrao, whick has no connecting rivers, etc.. Many times our weather is very limited, and one area can't really be compared to another this way.. Edited August 14, 2006 by Ajarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Don't they check the 'Muang' level from the NakonPing bridge - a couple of guys with a line and weight - then write the level on a board opposite the Tavern near Kaewnawarat Bridge?
