Mujigae brings in heavy rains in many parts of the country, beginning today

BANGKOK: -- Typhoon Mujigae has landed in China's southern coast yesterday and now has lessened its strength to depression today and is moving northwesterly at 20 kilometres an hour.

According to the latest announcement by the Meteorological Department today, Mujigae still would have widespread effect on Thailand’s weather with heavy rains expected from today in the northern, northeastern, central, eastern regions, and southern regions.

It warned people of heavy rains and flashfloods over the next few days.

According to Reuters, Mujigae with winds up to 112 miles an hour lashed China’s south coast on Sunday, killing at least four people and leaving a trail of destruction and flooding as Chinese authorities issued the highest “red alert” emergency.

Howling winds and snarling seas whipped up by Typhoon Mujigae caught several fishing vessels stranded out at sea, with 16 fishermen missing and one dead, the official Xinhua news agency reported late on Sunday.

Three more people were killed and 80 injured by a tornado in the city of Foshan.

Typhoon Mujigae hit land near the coastal city of Zhanjiang in Guangdong province at around 1410 (0210 ET) on Sunday afternoon, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said.

The typhoon had prompted coastal provinces in southern China to order fishing fleets to stay ashore and to cancel scores of flights and rail services.

The main affected areas are the southern island province of Hainan as well as Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.

Sapped of Force, Storm 'Mujigae' to Soak Bangkok for Days

By Sasiwan Mokkhasen

Heavy rain caused a landslide in western metropolitan Bangkok yesterday.

BANGKOK The storm which brought heavy rain to flood parts of the capital during the weekend may have been downgraded from a Category 4 typhoon but still promises to soak much of Thailand in the days to come.

Tropical Storm Mujigae, which killed nine people in the Philippines and China, has lost much of its fury but still has more rain to drop on Bangkok and the rest of the kingdom north of the gulf, according to the Thai Meteorological Department.

Nearly 200,000 people were evacuated before it made landfall in China yesterday at full typhoon strength, prompting Chinas Meteorological Center to issue its 22nd red warning of the year yesterday. The typhoon spawned several tornadoes which killed at least nine people with dozens still missing, according to the Associated Press.

In Thailand, fishing boats in Phang Nga stayed ashore this morning under high-wind warnings in the Andaman Sea.

The intense rain flooded parts of Bangkok and was blamed for road accidents and incidents throughout the kingdom, including a landslide in Nonthaburi. A Nakhon Chai bus crashed in Ubon Ratchathani province; no deaths were reported.

Heavy rain didn't cause a landslide in Bangkok. Piss poor materials and even poorer workmanship caused the landslide.

This is a good example of Chi Energy when a concerted effort is made by various practitioners of this ancient discipline.

Reenactment?

They are not pointing, these vandals pushed the wall over using only one finger each, thus demonstrating how dangerous Thai building standards are :-)

Most of this badly-needed water will likely flow into the Gulf .. after wreaking havoc along the Chao Phaya.

Wonder how many reservoirs, along with the associated jobs and local supplies/materials purchases, THB 36,000,000,000 would buy?

Talking about dam water,.... you will have plenty to store this month.....
