LivinginKata Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Mother nature seem to have some issues with me. I was at Saphan Hin, when the heavy rain started. When I got back home, I asked one villager, did we have a good rain at Ao Por. He said, nope, just a bit of rain. I did not manage to collect any rain water and now my tanks are empty (Orbotor did not deliver water). The rain only lasted 20 minutes, hardly enough time to wet the roofs. Forget collecting rain water. For that we need hours of rain. My water truck delivered at 08.30, not free, I pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough for couple of days. At This point I would be happy to pay, even quite a lot of overprice. But there are no source available, unless the Paklok municipality can get a truck up here. I'll have to go there to ask tomorrow again. Sapan Hin looked like this, just before the rain started. Saphan Hin, Phuket Incoming rain at Saphan Hin Also in rawai it was a real good shower, enough to wet roofs, roads and top up my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I seem to have copped the worst of it again. Heavy rain, very strong winds that came from every direction. One minute from the East then just as strong from the West, then North. I'm close to the hill, I think the storms bounce around in our valley a bit before moving on. We, and others, had to clear the road of fallen branches, one of which brought down the wires. Spent most of the evening without power as the electricity dept trucks charged back and forwards trying to work out how to fix it. Pool gained another couple of inches and several thousand leaves.

LivinginKata Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It seem to have passed on the rain radar and not a drop here in Kata. Looks like just the north end of the island got rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are pictures of this incident on PW this morning. I've now heard the 20yo girl hit by the tree at Tesco has died. Apparently she didn't want to wait with others in the store for the storm to pass and went alone to the car park. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 TMD loop showing something fairly large off the coast. A good 15 minute soaking over in Patong. Note on the TMD loop that the rain is coming almost from the south, so looks like the wind is swinging round to the west bang on schedule for the rainy season.
