WorldFun Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 yeah neither any significant winds nor a drop of rain from the 'typhoon', so I guess it having run out of steam following its destruction in manila & hanoi & latest cambodia/isan? isn't that how it always is in the capital? we get to see the flooding, quakes, tsunamis, vulcanos whatnot in the news, but never experience any of it?

Flashermac Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 It was delightfully cool last night. Drizzling right now. So far, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep, crappy drizzle. No real wind at all...just drizzle. Such a shame we don't experience really serious, life threatening, apocalyptic natural disasters here in Bangkok. A real bummer. I obviously need to move.

Flashermac Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Bangkok Post: << In Thailand, Typhoon Ketsana lashed Ubon Ratchathani Wednesday, dumping heavy rain and causing widespread damage to several areas. No casualties were reported. Ketsana, which has been downgraded to a depression, was centered in Ubon’s Muang district about 10am. The Meteorological Department was expecting Ketsana to weaken as it moved further inland over Sisaket, Surin, Buri Ram and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces later Wednesday. Ubon Ratchathani bore the brunt as the depression damaged more than 23,000 rai of farmland, 250 local roads, nine bridges and a school, a provincial disaster prevention and a mitigation office head Borpit Panpinit said. In Chon Buri, monstrous waves believed caused by the storm sank tourist ferries in Pattaya. No casualties were reported. Meanwhile, a tsunami warning was lifted in six Andaman provinces last night after the Indonesian island of Sumatra was hit by an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale. News of the powerful quake, which killed 21 and left thousands trapped under rubble, triggered a tsunami warning in Phangnga, Krabi, Phuket, Ranong, Trang and Satun. Authorities at 8pm declared there was no threat. The aftershock was not severe enough to set off a tsunami, Meteorological Department forecast centre head Burin Wetbantoeng said. Many villagers in Ban Nam Kem and Khao Lak in Phangnga’s Takua Pa district ran for safety after hearing of a possible tsunami. In Pattani, on the Gulf of Thailand coast, people were alarmed by a sudden drop in sea level near Ban Laem Nok. Mineral Resources Department spokesman Adichart Surinkam said Ketsana, not the tsunami, had caused the unusual coastal conditions. >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faustian Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well done Where's Troy lately? I just don't feel fully useless without him here. Interesting watching the remnant low, that was typhoon Ketsana. The centre passed right over Bangkok. It's still rotating and could well emerge into the Andaman sea still with an LLC. No idea if regeneration is viable, but it still isn't quite dead. It's going to dominate our weather for another day at least. The rain has stopped finally, but grey, heavy clouds remain.
