In Topic: Where Is It Flooding Right Now?

San Saeb has risen about 20 cm since yesterday according to the meter at Ramkamphaeng 41. Fits well with the water level being at height with the drains in the blind end of my soi. Still about 20 cm to go before the peak levels of about 2 weeks ago when several even-numbered Ladprao sois 124+ were flooded at their San Saeb ends - a few up to 50 cm.

Thanks for this Max.

Btw, the bold white numbers is not the depth, but height of water above sea level, so to get depth, need to subtract local ground above sea level. On average 1.1m.

Thanks for pointing that out. I suspected it was above MSL because of the large values. If he had previously identified what they were, I probably missed it. I think he's been using those relative MSL values to determine the absolute daily drop in cm. For some time I thought they represented billions of CM. Where did you get the 1.1 m value, BTW?

Also, looking at today's map, I must have omitted 60 MCM in the southeastern sector which would make the total MCM = 400 for the entire area instead of 340. The low video quality of the images was because I had to capture the low-res (240P) YouTube archive because I had not recorded it last night.

The 1.1 meters was the value used during the high tides having to subtract and you can use it as an average height above sea level. Most of greater BKK is between 0.5 to 2.0 meter ASL, so...

Sorry, but it looks mostly like you've got some bits mixed up somewhat. The only bit where I have seen the 1.1 m was in connection with the tide measurements, where some charts showed measurements at some naval station at the golf. Since Chao Phray actually does slope a bit (that's why the river flows toward the golf most of the time) one then had to subtract 1.1 m from the naval station's figures to get the water dephts of Chao Phrao at Bangkok - apparently because the bottom of the river is 1.1 meter ASL around there. While, you are right about between the 0.5 to 2.0 meter ASL for Bangkok, the average height ASL in Pathum Thani and other places North of the barricades is generally 2+ meter which is why the flood water don't just stay up there without artificial blockage.

If the South wants YS help, they better start voting for her & PT.
To my knowledge, there is no PT MP(s) in the South.

I'm not sure of that advice - it didn't seem to help anyone living more than a few kilometers north of Sukhumvit, regardless of voting. Better advice them to abondon ship and move to inner Bangkok - or perhaps occupy Suvarnabhumi or industrial estates if they prefer to live in the middle of a natural flood runoff areas.
