Six provinces warned of heavy rains, flash floods

By The Nation

 

Residents of three eastern provinces and three southern provinces were warned to brace themselves for heavy downpours and possible flash flooding on Saturday and Sunday.

 

The warning was issued by the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

 

Chatchai Promlert, the department’s director-general, said the influence of a strong southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and a low-pressure ridge over upper Vietnam would trigger heavy rains in the six provinces.

 

He said residents of the eastern provinces of Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat and southern provinces on the west coast – Ranong, Phang Nga and Phuket – should prepare for heavy rains and possible flooding in some areas.

 

He said affected people could call 1784 around the clock to seek help.

I may sound stupid but never mind....heavy rains are nothing new in the country...why is there not an adapted sewage network that can absorb the water falls and consequently drain them away?? ok ok I anticipate the answer...this is Thailand?

Maybe because they do not consider it news after three days worth. ?
