Pinned. Flood information only please. No politics.

And no trolling I might be so presumptuous to add.

Thankfully dry in Don Muang ..

Warpspeed, where are you in Don Muang. I am in Dechatungha ( the road that runs West for Don Muang police station) and still dry as a bone but noticed yesterday that they had sandbagged the army barrack entrance but by lunchtime today still no sandbags at the Royal Thai Airforce at the other end end of the road, so someone is right I guess, hopefully the airforce !

You too are near me. I'm in Thaninton village.

Go along your road, turn left at Don Muang police station, go past Grand Canal, and you'll approach the back entrance to my village. The main entrance (off Wiphavadi Rangsit) is half-way between the airport and Zeer.

Lots of concrete flood walls and sandbags being put up around here today!

just the panic syndrome I suspect, one do they all do. Still dry in Dechatungha and nearby

Let's do a few sums. Apparently there is around 6000 billion cu. mtrs of water approaching. Never mind who made this calc but lets just take it as fact for now. Assuming it is moving at 5 KMH and is spread over a front of approximately 50 km by around 100 KM long (and we assume it is the Engilish billion, not the American one ) then what depth could the water be excluding any surge factors ?

so:- per hour the equivalent of 5000 x 100000 x 50000 = 25 billion sq. mtrs of water movement. So if 6000 billion cu. mtrs is approaching then we are either going to be under 240 mtrs of water or perhaps their figures are wrong ? - or my maths.

It is not your maths that is wrong, it is your assumption that speed is involved. They are talking about a volume of water which is , as far as a simple rectangle shape is involved, is length x width x height which = Volume. So Height = Volume/ width x length So we have 6000,000,000/50,000 x 100,000 which equals 1.2 metres in height. Hope that helpsclear it up.Unfortunately, as you point out, that does not take into account surges and man made blockages..

Of course you are right, it must be too much wine on my part. I am having to drink as much as possible in order to build a raft out of the empties.

I just saw Khun Yingluck's iPhone while she was on TV.

I wonder if she has the new iPhone 4s yet?

Maybe that new speaking voice (Siri?) is advising her.

FYI No as she couldn't get it unlocked at MBK so it won't work in Dubai.

They were warned this would happen 30 years ago,building on flood plains,stealing the timber , and too many Dams, but BKK Rich got their Money , now they get their Guchi Loafers Wet.

The rich never get there feet wet unless for photos. No differant the world over. They will be long gone only to return to benefit again. Anyway Dubai is dry.
