What do you do when the pasture turns into a lake?

You string out your fishing net

Sakon Nakhon community helping each other

Local volunteers, government agencies and military, all were quite busy helping out

 

 
Tractors and boats ferried people and supplies to and from inundated areas.
Speedboats and helicopters were used for outlying areas

Free food water, candles, matches and other items were distributed to all households

No major storm coming this way,
Sakon Nakhon Airport reopens,
ten days required for flood draining



A weather system arriving from the north is weakening in strength

We seem to be getting the outer edges of this system.
Morning and afternoon scattered showers

Flood danger has not passed

Water is receding at a much slower rate, there is continued fear that (lake) Nong Hahn will extend in size and reach parts of the city again. 
 Daily chance of rain still high, but nothing of major proportions as in past days
