Ta22 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Been watching and is planning to go out for a morning view , i wonder where is a good place for breakfast to compare , while the water level from the figure it seem to be worst then the 2005 flood , but since 2005 flood i had seen them dig in on the river bank . in 2006 and also more work done just to control the flood . which is maybe why the reason most people like me in zone 7 when the water cross the 4.7 meter mark had less worry . during the 2005 the water was 1 inches before it enter my house . hope thing get better .

Gonzo the Face Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Glub ... Glub ... Glub Well the best that can be said from The Pun Pun is that we made it Things a little wet. Water in some of the lower rooms, but everything was put high and away. While the water level gauge said that it surpassed the 2005 level, it did not reach my office, which in 200a5 had about 14 inches of water inside.. This time it came close and another cm or two would have put it in the office. The flood chart says it has held for the past 3 hours at 4.94. but I have been reading the river gauge at that level for about 5 hours. It has been going down noticeable in the past 45 mins or so. Hope and pray for a speedy drop in the river level before we get any more rainfall. Our kitchen has a few inches of water , but is being tended to as we write. Even though there is some water damage, we made it through basically pretty good. Do hope that all others feel as fortunate and continue to have good luck in the time of receding water. Good Morning all Gonzo Edited September 28, 2011 by Gonzo the Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta22 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Look like a @4.94m Direct link http://www.uppic.siam1.com/images/e9bcvvf1chpkcl37gj.jpg @6:26 am seen like is going up slightly but the few CM might not be a big problem if the flow is rapid enough to carry away the water or no basin area is fill as long as the water keep flowing is a good sign . Good luck to all . And all the best to Pun Pun Edited September 28, 2011 by Ta22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) ^ The good news is that Baan Mae Tae has been going down since midnight - from 4.89 @ 23:00 last night to 4.53 @ 6:00 am this morning. Nawarat bridge was going up until 4:00 am and stable at 4.94 since then. I dare say the worst is over. For now. I hope that's not famous last words... edit 4.93 @ 7:00 am - first drop!!!

Firelily Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 it is thigh high in the street behind the Gymkhana golf club, lots of Thais wading as far out as they can along the street and taking pics of each other. seems to be slowly but consistently getting worse here, with an inch or two going up every hour.

bkkjames Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 A hip wader business could be lucrative right now. Water in bkk has been noticably higher along the river since yesterday but nothing like CM -yet. Good luck to all up north-keep any cuts on your feet and legs super clean.

T_Dog Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Just saw this alert for later this week: Wunderground Nesat Tracking Right now the Ping River valley is kilometers across with water from Mae Taeng to Chiang Mai. Let's hope the whole basin gets a chance to drain before tropical storm Nesat comes through. Best wishes to all of you in Chiang Mai dealing with the floods.

T_Dog Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Updated my graph with current data for the curious. Good graph Tywais. Also for the curious, here are what the times for the Ping River flood crest looked like yesterday: Ban Pao to Chiang Mai: 24 hours Highway 1323 to Chiang Mai: 18 hours Note that this excludes any consideration of the inflow of the Mae Taeng River which is downstream from the points above.

Loaded Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Updated my graph with current data for the curious. Good graph Tywais. +1 Levels are starting to drop. 6:00am - 4.94m 7:00am - 4.93m 8:00am - 4.92m 9:00am - 4.91m They are dropping faster in San Sai which is very good news as this trend should be reflected at Nawarat bridge soon.

CMwanderer Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 So it seems that the water level is going down, at only 1cm per hour, but still down. Have they released the dams that everyone has been rumouring about or is that still to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 A friend has a shop on Chan Klan, one block from the Empress Hotel, about eight blocks from the ShangriLa (heading out of town), she reports this morning that water is three feet deep and fast moving - she and other business owners have been told to expect more water at 1pm today when the gates are opened at Cheng Dow.

Tywais Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) For comparison here is the 2005 flood graph. Hydro-1 archive 2005 Did a rough comparison between the two and the trends are very similar over a 40 hour time span with the 2005 seeming to flatten for a longer period of time (longer drainage) and a slightly slower level increase (rate of increase) at the beginning. New graph for 2005 with trend line. Edited September 29, 2011 by Tywais Added trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedders Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lived on See Ping Muang Rd for years (just across from the Nim See Seng hotel).

sidolis Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Levels may be falling at the bridge, maybe because the water is spreading out? But the water has just spread to the west side of route 106 south of the inner ring road (Nong Pheung) - neighbours hurriedly evacuating furniture. South of Mahidol now flooded, Varee school closed (didn't in 2005!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
