Homes, cars and property destroyed as Vamco rocks Pattaya

PATTAYA:--18:00 September 16, 2015, Pattaya was rocked by Vamco for approximately two continuous hours with heavy rain and strong winds, causing the entire town to flood.

East Pattaya Sois became streaming rivers, including Khao Talo, Khao Noi, Nernplubwan, Nong Yai, Siam Country Club, Local Road and Sukhumvit. Motorbikes and low vehicles were completely disabled as the water level in each soi ranged from 50-100 centimeters deep.

Very heavily flooded areas included Wat Nong Yai area, Highway Police Department area, the entire stretch along Pattaya Beach Road, Jomtien Beach Road, Pattaya 3rd Road near Moom Aroi, South Pattaya Road and North Pattaya Road as well as sois in those vicinities.

Meanwhile, authorities were working hard throughout the city, re-directing vehicles and making sure that the residents and tourists were evacuated from low level areas. Pumps were installed in designated areas, especially along Pattaya Beach Road as it’s the last line of defense and receives the massive amount of water that overflows down from the sois in the city.

Funny I slept during the storm , just decided not to go out. A few hours later and it was almost dry on the roads where I live . When you live in a condo you don't have to worry too much.
