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

The flood of 2017, worst in at least a decade

June 25, 2017

9:30 AM July 28 overflowed 15 minutes after this picture
Uncovered my drain which serves many of my gutters. It's at a standstill and rising.  Got about another inch to go.  Probably in the flood zone by this afternoon

No end in sight yet


This weather system has been doing a counterclockwise circle dance for the past 24 hours and is not getting tired yet. Hourly rain chance 80 to 95% all day and through much of Saturday. My non scientific rain measure retained five inches of water for the last 24 hours 6 am.  Quite windy at times, causing trees to topple

So let me get this straight: as I sit in front of my computer I am actually moving 1,000 miles per hour (1600 km/hr)






Flushing weather

That's the best way to describe it.  Weather is swirling around us, similar to when you flush the toilet, and we are in the middle for the moment.  Spewing weather in all directions.  Today, some sunshine, some clouds, scattered rain.  If you want to see what's coming, look at the southwest

♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ "... Just to pass the time of day ..."

The train departed Bangkok (Thailand Post) at 5 pm Tuesday.  Arrived at my house 2 pm Wednesday.  I mention that as an example of Thailand overnight postal service.
Of course I immediately began assembling tracks, even though I realize I'll be pulling it all apart again.  Have to anchor the two tables together permanently and design a better layout.  Meanwhile it gave me some time to investigate various parts and how they are used.



At Sakon FC game time, the rains will stop according to ...

...why am I standing in front of a blank wall ?

Moved my utility shelving to make room for my new hobby. 
The shelf contains medicines, first aid supplies, bug sprays and various other frequently used items. 
Since moving the shelve I have caught myself a few times standing in front of a blank wall, looking for something.
Of course I stand there for a few seconds trying to remember what I was looking for and why am I standing in front of a blank wall.

Sakon FC 4 pm today Please feed me!!

Of course I will be searching for a live feed right around game time. If a live feed becomes available I'll embed it on this blog. 
If there is no feed available, SMMSORT LIVESCORE is the best source to get current scores during game time and finals.
Had considered seeing the game, but quickly decided 10 hours in a car just isn't high on my list of things to do at the moment.
