Mr Lee Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 :kidding: Wow! This sounds terrible. AYUTTHAYA, Thailand — The lucky ones traverse this flood-submerged Thai city in navy boats and motorized canoes. The rest float on whatever they can find – inner tubes, swan-shaped pedal boats, even huge chunks of muddied white plastic foam.With large sections of Ayutthaya buried under a sea of one-story high water, rescue workers and volunteers are still crisscrossing town to pluck stranded residents from waterlogged ruins. Others are staying to protect what's left. One boy donned a snorkeling mask to inspect his house, its corrugated roof faintly visible below the murky brown waves.

Mr Lee Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 is it wrong of me to think, "Well, at least it wasn't the Philippines for once."I don't know but I keep waiting for the other shoe to fall and hope it does not happen. Every time I fly over Mactan Cebu and see how wet it usually is, I keep hoping it will never happen there, because that might devastate Cebu, since the airport is on Mactan. :kidding: Not even to mention how many lives might be lost. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CebuAndy Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I'ts really terrible here. TV shows day and night increased flooded areas 1 meter (3 feet) or more.The big shopping malls all over the country are out of water and many other essentials. People have stocked up for a month, and empty shelves everywhere. Families with small children can't find milk for their kids. * Factories are flooded, and millions are sent home.* Government here just declined help from US military who never received a formal request from the Thai government and the three-ship aircraft carrier group left the area on friday.* Prediction says flooding expected to last 4-6 weeks more. Peak 28-31 October for Bangkok flooding.* Crocodile warning for north Bangkok area.* Government admit flood crisis out of control.* UN blames Thai Government for poor flood management.* Millions have lost their home, and 300 people have died.

Mr Lee Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 What is happening in Thailand should be a lesson to us all, disaster could happen anywhere, so being prepared is the best we can do for ourselves and out family. Stock up. 'Too much water': Bangkok floods spread through city Bangkok residents scrambled to stock up on food, but bottled water was nowhere to be seen and some shops restricted customers to small quantities of food to prevent hoarding.
