Rains usually go away once it's August. But September is about to end and it's still pouring. In fact as I write this the sun is only coming out. I hope it dries up the puddles that the downpour created last night. On another night last week we got more than what we needed again!

Floods are normal in Bangkok but this was the first time my workplace was victimized like this
staff going home after doing overtime
blurred but I guess that's a cheerful attitude to either the guy who took this shot or to the deluge
plastic toy boats would probably look cute on this surface
the business office, ouch
I wonder about the fate of textbooks placed on the floor
Once my poodle was due for shots and there were no rides to his clinic due to the deluge. I didn't mind. It was actually fun braving 5 kilometers of water six inches up the legs, and observing the phenomenon live. At another time we (ex-hub and I) were submerged in the middle of Udomsuk Road. Water seeped into the insides of BIL's car. He and his wife fly to the US every year - and it was one time they left their car with us. No bother at all. What got to me was when I woke up one morning to the sight of my piano virtually floating in the living room. I had it! Now I live five floors up an apartment.

Shelo, ay oo, grabe din ang Manila pag bumaha. i'll go chika sa GMA News
Thom, the city has this emergency team in charge of siphoning water out of the roads to the canals. Once it flooded on a Sunday and they didn't go to work because
'it's Sunday,' they said. The governor was fuming, lol! (that's according to the ex-hub)
Happy Sunday!
And as far as the flood situation in Bangkok is concerned, I'm surfing it away :-)
Thanks for your entry on OWM, this is so informative.

Pacey, reminders noted :-) thanks and thanks for the link.
Calico, sometimes the water does look terrifying, especially when you witness it rising right before your very eyes.

Nku, wla yan mga pics na yan sa nangyari dito sa atin. Siguro by now, you heard about it already.
So heartbreaking watching the news today, kakaiyak hearing people lost their loved ones, houses, etc.
Take care, Hazel!
Beth, yep I heard about it. My connection being slow last nite was probably a blessing, or I would have gone to bed with images of the disaster. Sorry to hear about it. Ingat kayo dyan.
