Yep but it is now 14:00 and the water is still rushing down the storm trench but the culvert and low lying land is handling it now. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you rent and not own, and whichever it is that there is insurance in place. I wish you all the best and that you do not lose to much gear..... Thanks mate. I tend not to keep much on the floor and just piled the "good stuff" on my bed and watched the water rise then slowly go away. It got to about 6 inches in my room.

Get a couple of Thais to help you sort out the mess when the water recedes. Flood water usually leaves a lot of mud and other crap behind, we're not used to dealing with this stuff but the Thais do it regularly. Sit back with a cold beer and let the locals handle it. Yep, I've been through this a few times. What I have learnt in the past is to wait until the flood water is about half inch deep in your room and receding then work like f**k with a stiff brush sweeping it out the door. Do this a few times then chuck buckets of clean water, with disinfectant in, over the floor then sweep it all out the door. Then mop with clean water. If you leave it to clear then dry then you really are in the shit. This is the main reason I stayed. My arms are like jelly at the moment but I have to hose down the patio next and wait for the road to empty before sweeping up outside but that will be late tonight or early tomorrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the one linked to and it's come in quite handy for washing the bikes and removing the build up of debris on the front gate track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now cleaned everything down now as I only have a small place. I'm just waiting for the road to drain in the next couple of hours before sweeping my bit of the road ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 As some sort of indication of how much rain fell in such a short time ...... .....7 hours after it stopped raining the road is still about 1 foot under water and it is still being fed by the storm trench. All the drains are working no problem. There is just too much coming in !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 26 minutes ago, Bazle said: It doesn't look good in this video (55 sec mark): I took pics of the five areas where the sand was washed the away. They're around the soi 13's. In the past the washed away areas were much more numerous and were scattered along the length of Beach Rd. The other areas that were prone to washouts are now blocked off from Beach Rd with curbs. So as long as the drains and pumps can keep up with the flooding, they're no longer prone to washing out as in the past. It is odd that north of Klang they've blocked off the low points with curbs, but they haven't done the same south of Klang for some reason. Perhaps it's because to the south they know the pumps and drains won't be able to keep up with the flooding, so they're purposely left the low points open so the washouts are concentrated in one area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the the radar loop the system producing the rain doesn't look as intense as yesterday's storm. I may drink my words, but it's looking like your floor will stay dry today. https://weather.tmd.go.th/svp120Loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
