webfact Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Tropical Rainstorm Vamco Unleashes Flooding in Vietnam, Laos and CambodiaBy Adam Douty, Meteorologist BANGKOK: -- Tropical Rainstorm Vamco will bring flooding rain to portions of Indochina through at least Wednesday.As of Monday evening local time, 215 mm (8 inches) of rain from Vamco has been reported in Da Nang, Vietnam, before making landfall south of the city as a tropical storm. Wind gusts up to 70 km/h (45 mph) were reported in the city as well.The tropical cyclone will quickly weaken across the mountainous terrain of Vietnam and Laos Monday night local time, but flooding will persist in the region.Heavy rain will press south and west into Thailand, Cambodia and southern Vietnam Tuesday and Wednesday; 75-150 mm (3-6 inches) with more isolated areas receiving 300 mm (12 inches) of rain will threaten these areas.Due to the mountainous terrain of the region, rivers are expected to rapidly rise leading to life-threatening flash flooding. Water-logged hillsides may give way and lead to mudslides.Full story: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/tropical-depression-to-bring-f/52362082-- Accuweather 2015-09-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 At least here in Jomtien (Pattaya) there have been drenching rains the past couple nights, so maybe if we do get torrential rains, some of it can soak in, rather than run off in flash floods. Here's a satellite map of Vamco from Weather Underground. Not sure if it's from last night ("9PM JST" = 7PM Thailand) or just now ("331PM JST" = 131PM Thaliand), but it shows much of central/eastern Thailand already under the leading end of the storm.

Kerryd Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've check the tire pressure on the bike and tied some balloons to the handlebars. Bring on the rain ! I'm ready ! Well, actually I just finished spreading some fresh silicone in the spots where water was leaking around the edges of my new patio roof. The contractor, after trying to dramatically inflate the price of the job, did a half-assed job of sealing the thing (I doubt he would have done any better had I gave him what he initially quoted me though). Like the old saying goes - can't fix it when it's raining and leaking, but when it's not raining it's not leaking so what's the hurry ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deerhunter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Making landfall in a landlocked country??? For those of you not from Florida, 'landfall' means coming ashore from open water where they originate. Get googled. Please don't bother me with facts about Laos.

Andrew65 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Pumping out those klongs has got to be a good thing. That is some very funky water! Yes, I was walking by Khlong Saen Sap yesterday, and the outfall was very much in evidence. Pumping water out of the small khlong by Sukhumvit Soi 19. Over recent years they do seem to have achieved a greater level of preparedness. Then again, I think the big floods a few years ago were a wake-up call, when the Japs got seriously peed-off about it!
