And so it begins
Tropical thunderstorm began around 2 am. Thunder and lightening, my gutters were running over. Flooding was inevitable. One can only hope there's enough time for water to run off before the next storm. The highway is fairly new, drainage was not part of the plan     I anticipated worse this year just last month Weather alert: The worst is yet to come |

Thailand Road Fishing Season
Thursday we had two inches of rain. I dispute records which indicate the rain fell over a period of four hours. Two inches in one hour the other three hours were drizzle.
Side street drains were unable to handle the downpour as evidenced by these pictures taken the following day.
Saw plenty of fish crossing the streets, but did not dare stop on my motorcycle and get my feet wet.
Thais take advantage of floods and go fishing
There was a dip in the road and the water was nearly a foot deep, almost killed my motorcycle engine. Much of this flooding can be attributed to construction blocking water-flow.

When you get lemons, you make lemonade
When Sakon Nakhon gets floods,
Sakonnakhon'ians go fishing
Canal water levels have lowered slightly since yesterday
Many side streets, were new construction has blocked the normal water-flow, are flooded.
Grazing field have become lakes
Rainy Season is Back
Heavy rain storms yesterday morning arrived with a mini tornado as a precursor.
Unsubstantiated (heard it from a friend)
According to Thai Meteorology Department we had 103.5 mm (4") rain during the early morning hours
During the heavy rains many streets were flooded, some impassible.
By 11:30 canals had recovered, most city streets were passable.
NOTEWORTHY is the fact that this storm was locally generated
Unsubstantiated (heard it from a friend)
"Strong winds caused fallen displays at some EXPO shops. One person needed hospital treatments for cuts suffered from falling objects."
In other parts of town store awnings were ripped from buildings by high winds

Took a little Trip down Hemorrhoid Alley
South where ITU (road) ends and the traffic lights have been stuck in yellow for over a week.Folk know they can cross cautiously on a flashing yellow light. When it's not flashing, they sit there waiting for the light to change... for a very long time.
Once you cross the intersection, you're in farm country
It's where "Hemorrhoid Alley" begins
Wanted to see if canals were ready in case of Flooding Episode 2
Water level is below half way and moving rapidly

Heavy rain intermission
ends this weekend
Sakon Nakhon F.C. vs Roi Et F.C.
Wednesday, July 31, 2013 15.00 p.m.
at the United Institute of Maha Sarakham campus stadium.
Is this month's the worst flooding in Sakon Nakhon City? EVER!
I can only confirm the ten years I have lived here and say it is.
In August of 2008 flooding in the city was limited to a few places
Outlying areas fared worse.
Don't remember much flooding in my vicinity in 2012.
There was some heavy flooding elsewhere Obviously!
Most Sakon Nakhon city canals were built decades ago. They sufficed then.
There's been a hell of a lot of home and business construction since then.
Lakes have been paved over, streams have been blocked.
