iainiain101 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Last night the north side of Mahidol Road was sandbagged by the authorities. Not sure if that is to keep a flood in or out! But for the water to get that high it would need a rain fall of biblical proportions, or the river to flood. Checking the Hydro website, there are very few updates, and no indication of a large body of water coming down stream. Anyone know whats going on? http://hydro-1.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just occurred to me that it is probably sand bags to protect a water pipe that is pumping water from flooded area into the Ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is Thailand. Of course floods are expected. The only question is how long they last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orang37 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 We are in the period of occasional rains called the "mango rains;" imho, the recent downpour was heavy for this time frame, historically. Typically, the "real" floods are in August to September. But, given the dances of El's Nino and Nina, of coronal ejections, and global-your-pick-of-warm/cold-ing, ice-shelf-calving, volcanic burping, etc., who knows ? If you can predict the amount of rain in the coming months, please raise my hand, now ... I'll give your psychic powers a very deep wai. cheers, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
