Samui -still flooded out

[BuffHello]

SAMUI under water again

 

Published on Dec 04 , 2005

 

CONTINUED HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN THAILAND'S SOUTH HAVE LEFT MANY PARTS OF THE REGION UNDER WATER.

 

ON THE TOURIST PARADISE ISLAND OF SAMUI. ALL ROADS ARE UNDER 30-CENTIMETRE-HIGH WATER.

 

STATE ATTEMPTS TO DRAIN WATER INTO THE SEA HAVE NOT BROUGHT RELIEF ... DUE TO ONGOING RAINS... AND AN OVERFLOWING SITUATION AT PROO CHA WENG RESERVOIR.

 

OFFICIALS EXPECT ECONOMIC DAMAGE FROM RAINS AT SOMEWHERE ABOVE 400 MILLION BAHT.

 

MEANWHILE... THE MET OFFICE HAS ISSUED ANOTHER WARNING ON SOUTHERN STORMS.

 

RESIDENTS ON BOTH THE GULF OF THAILAND AND THE ANDAMAN COAST ARE WARNED OF MORE HEAVY RAINS AND FLASH FLOODS... ESPECIALLY IN PRACHUAPKHIRIKHAN RANONG CHOOMPORN AND SURATTHANI

 

HIGH SEAS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DURING THE NEW FOUR DAYS.

 

TEMPERATURES IN THE SOUTH ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO DROP BY THREE TO FOUR DEGREE CELSIUS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

Not all roads are under 30 cm high water. Complete nonsense.

Some oarts are indeed though and the rest of the story is unfortunately true.
