Sakon Nakhon 2013 Flood
Act Two canceled/postponed?
Thai Meteorological Department still has its warnings in effect:
"During 2-5 August, isolated heavy to very heavy rain is expected
over the North and the Northeast."
For the moment Jebi seems to be heading north for a direct hit at Hainan.

We might be spared heavy flooding locally.
Our local weather might not be as severe as previously forecast.
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

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.
