Sakon Nakhon 2013 Flood
Act Two begins Tonight
Updated
The center of the storm is well north of us.
To begin with we should only have to deal with the outer perimeter of the storm.
The worst to hit this region will most likely be at the weekend.

Early Bird Seating
Simon Lawrence sent me this picture of the new Sakon Nakhon Stadium on Airport Road.
Seems to me: very limited covered seating.
Rather than frying in the hot afternoon sun or taking a dousing, I'd make other plans

Roi Et wins! Did you expect otherwise?
The makeup game for Sakon FC vs Roi Et was moved to The University of Maha Sarakham campus stadium (174 km from Sakon Nakhon, 40 km from Roi Et).
I've been told that there are signs not to give handouts to the street beggars.
Old habits are hard to break.
Big Crowds at the stadium, almost capacity
Another score board on the fritz
Something flooded?
They must have kept the manual scoreboard for just such an occasion.
As reads: 8 1
Should read: 0 1
Two of the goals were penalty shots
Sakon Nakhon defense has noticeably improved. More improvement is hopefully pending.
The game ended on a somewhat sad note: A collision between two players required emergency room treatment for a Sakon Nakhon player (#9)
Details of the extend of the injury are still sketchy.
I like celebrating a victory just like the next guy.
But flares seems a bit dangerous. They spit hot lava
Even with this loss, Sakon FC remains in ninth position in the league.
Sakon FC next hosts Ubon Ratchathani, August 4.
Ubon FC had been the bottom of the barrel for many of the recent years.
This year Ubon FC consistently has been in the number two spot from the beginning of the 2013 season
On the way to the game
Road conditions through the Phu Phan mountain pass where dry and mostly clear skies.I've been told that there are signs not to give handouts to the street beggars.

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.

...are starting to rear their ugly head,
Ruined crops and expectation of higher food prices ahead

Flood Cleanup
Had intended to visit some nearby villages to witness how they were faring.
A short distance from my house the water was a foot deep. Killed my motorcycle engine.
Subsequently I killed my battery.
I should get my motorcycle back shortly after noon with a new battery (480 baht).
Instead I walked around the neighborhood in my "Wellingtons"
They are too large for my feet without socks, causing a few blisters.
I thoroughly washed and disinfected my feet when I got home.
Water pumps were used and shared everywhere
Most folk seemed in good spirit
Many homes were still awaiting their turn to used water pumps
Recently paved but already cracked
