Rogie Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Understandable mistake! I assume you don't live in Thailand Daddydawg, otherwise you would know about the heavy rains in parts of the country. A good idea to post that link as I knew there'd been flooding around Sukhothai but not that it has been so widespread. There has been flooding in 15 provinces in the past week. Overflow from the Yom River hit Sukhothai municipality on Monday, breaking through eroded levees beneath flood walls to swamp parts of the city. The flood occurred because the bases on which flood walls had been built unexpectedly broke. The surging water made many roads in municipal areas of Sukhothai's Muang district impassable, with some of them under up to 1m of water. Science and Technology Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi, who heads the Water and Flood Management Commission, yesterday apologised to Sukhothai residents. He said the flood levees designed to prevent overflow from the Yom River were built in 2001 and the structure may have eroded through years of wear. It was difficult to detect damage in the levee bases, he said. Quote
