BoganInParasite Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Given the amount of rain this area gets annually, something extraordinary must have happened to cause floods like this. The first time I saw year-to-date rainfall figures for Ranong on the TMD site, I thought they had to be wrong. Would love to get down there one day for a look.
