Thanks for taking a detour north

Usagi  plotted a week ago to reach this area, changed directions a few days ago heading northwest.

Usagi is the strongest storm to date this year, with 150 km (93 mile) winds. 
Local weather directions have changed for the moment.  Our weather is arriving from the west

Typhoon Usagi veers Northwest

Typhoon Usagi, which was expected to hit this area early next week has changed directions moving northwest and is expected to enter southern China today.

Expect similar weather as last week: drizzle, light and heavy rain at times.
Increased rain Wednesday and Thursday.

Recent heavy flooding has been reported in provinces south of Sakon Nakhon: Kalasin, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani. One death by drowning  has been reported in Si Sa Ket province, where a man was swept away by rapid moving water

Tao Ngoi Illuminated Boat Fest

Looking at weather maps I had anticipated correctly that the rains would cease in time for the evening celebrations. 
I decided not to chance the 40 km / 24 mile ride on a motorcycle at night on wet roads.
