</td> <td align="right" valign="bottom">
</td> </tr> </tbody></table> Bangkok, the capital of Thailand and a gem of South-East Asia, is sinking due to the most serious flood in the last 50 years. Most of the city’s 50 districts are expected to be flooded in the next three days. The peak of the flood is forecast for Saturday afternoon.


By that time the water level in the Chao Phraya river will exceed the critical point by 15cm. The authorities have already warned that this may be enough to burst the dams and locks. The worst scenario is that Bangkok will be completely flooded.:'( In this case districts along the river and numerous canals may remain under 2m of water. Alexey Kokorin, an expert of the Russian branch of the World Wildlife Foundation, describes the reasons for this anomaly:


“The same situation occurred in Ireland where a monthly rate of precipitation fell on Dublin in one day. This trend can be observed on the whole planet which is caused by the growing number of extreme phenomena in the climate. Bluntly speaking, we get two downpours instead of ten little rains.



When these two downpours coincide and rave for two days on end the result is floods that we can see in Thailand and Ireland. On the whole, the number of the so-called hydro-meteorological phenomena on our planet has doubled over the last 15 years. This includes almost all natural disasters except volcano eruptions and tsunami which are not associated with hydro-meteorology. Double growth is too much and this spreading tendency is alarming, because the next 15-20 years will see another double growth.”


Urgent evacuation is being carried out in Bangkok. People are dragging their belongings to hilltops and sweeping food and other essential commodities off supermarket shelves. Many entrances to shops and residential buildings are barricaded with sacks of sand and slag-concrete blocks. Roads out of the city are congested with cars moving mostly in the direction of Pattaya. Many people are running on foot past the strings of cars and trishaws, with goods and chattels on their shoulders.


While Bangkok is in panic, everything is calm in Pattaya, Ernest Novik, a Russian realtor in Thailand, told The Voice of Russia:


“The situation in Pattaya is not different from two months ago. The health resort is enjoying the sun and the sea. Most tourists know nothing about the flood. The only sign of the calamity in the north of the country is no bottled water in the shops because bottle-making factories have stopped working.



The country’s main airport in Bangkok is functioning in normal conditions. All health resorts are crowded with tourists. As for Bangkok, tourists do not stay there.”


Russian tour operators are not planning to cancel any trips to Thailand so far. Meanwhile, the number of casualties in the country is approaching 400 and the number of missing people is not given. Streams of water and mountain mud torrents have washed away at least 800,000 buildings, so the number of casualties can increase. Vladimir Semyonov, an expert of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences, gives an unfavourable forecast:


“The rainy season, which was to be over in September, is likely to continue in November. It is hard to say what comes next. All guesses can only be speculative and very uncertain. Rain will continue in December but floods are not only caused by rain. They are associated with the condition of the soil and the irrigation system, which is rivers and dams. The flood is likely to continue through November, so Thailand is not the best place for a holiday in the near future.”:'(


The Russian Embassy, on its part, recommends Russians to think twice before visiting that country. It is recommended to avoid provinces affected by the flood, which make up almost half of the country’s territory. There is no information about casualties among Russian businessmen, journalists or tourists. The Russian Embassy keeps in touch with the authorities and police of Thailand so as to receive timely information about the developments in the situation and possible casualties among Russians.

A whopping 140 litres of rain per square metre (around 14 centimetres, or six inches) was registered in the Vall de Laguart, and 117 in Murla (both in Alicante). The downpours are mainly concentrated in the Marina Alta area, particularly inland, in the north of the province, and in the south of the Valencia province in the Oliva and Gandia area. Elsewhere in this part of the region, around 50 litres of rain per square metre was recorded. The Spanish government normally declares a state of emergency when rain reaches 40 litres per square metre, and this is generally the lower limit at which insurance companies will consider claims for storm damage. As yet, no incidents have been reported, according to the fire brigade. This time of year normally brings heavy rain and flooding, leading to cars becoming trapped, ground-floor properties having to be bailed out and people needing to be rescued. In 2009, a British mother and her teenage daughter were killed in Ontinyent in the October floods, and in 2007, a woman died when her garage in El Verger filled up with water.

* Residents 'fed up' [Bangkok Post]: Fed-up residents force open water sluice gates
Bang Chan Industrial Estate in the eastern Bangkok suburban district is in more danger of flooding after angry protesters forced the government to open wider a sluice gate in Klong Sam Wa to allow more water to flow from their inundated commuunities.

About 500 people block Nimitmai Road in Khlong Sam Wa district to demand the Khlong Sam Wa sluice gate be opened wider, from 70cm to 1.5m. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration eventually agreed to open the sluice gate by 80cm. TAWEECHAI TAWATPAKORN​

* PM hopeful but governor fears a second wave [The Nation]: The prime minister and the Bangkok governor offered differing views of the flood situation yesterday.
The premier said a critical mass of water had already been diverted away from the capital, while the governor feared another 'wave' would hit the western part of the city.

* Suvarnabhumi Airport ready for floods [The Nation]: Suvarnabhumi Airport places high confidence in its flood-prevention scheme, with the 3.5-metre-high and 37-metre wide earthern dyke and sheet piles to slow the currents as well as other preventive measures.
Airports of Thailand Senior Executive Vice President Somchai Sawasdeepon said that the airport also has a team of officers to monitor water levels at six flood gates including Lat Krabang, Saen Saeb and Samrong. Airlines operating at the airport are notified of water level every three hours, to ensure smooth aviation operations in Thailand despite the flooding in Don Mueang Airport.
Yesterday, the airport accommodated 945 flights, a new daily record since the opening.

* People help people [Bangkok Post]:Locals ease evacuee's suffering
Where did the "refugees" of the great floods of Bangkok flee? It turns out Chon Buri was the most popular destination by a wide margin.
This probably is due to it being only about 80km from Bangkok, with highways connecting the two provinces. … The major problem for this evacuation centre, which can accommodate up to 4,000 people, is a shortage of tents for evacuees with pets. … To help reduce stress for the evacuees, the centre also provides recreational activities for them, including music, sightseeing and camping for kids. …

Vietnam:
Ho Chi Minh City sinking into sea

Quang Chung
Water flooded by high tides in Ho Chi Minh City in late October by making the sale of local residents and stagnate - Picture: British Army.

(Saigon Times Online) - Vietnam is gradually sinking into the sea because of the impact of climate change and the lack of control in urban development.

Research Center for the computerization of the Software Technology Park Ho Chi Minh City National University announced that many areas of the city are sinking areas local to the average rate on a cen-ti-met/nam .

Storm surges in October last past have not seen the peak (1.57 meters), has caused severe flooding to many areas of the city. Research by the national organization of global climate change, sea levels have risen from 20 years ago 10 cen-ti-meters.

Dr. Le Van Trung, Center for Informatics, said the drop in water levels in the exploitation of underground water levels, coupled with the rapid development of construction work on the ground ... has caused surface deformation terrain - land subsidence - in the City.

This study is strengthened when the Department of Natural Resources, Environment City, said the situation in the city groundwater extraction has exceeded 1 million cubic meters / day but the water scorpion is less than 200,000 cubic meters / day - making the water level below Land of the aquifer becomes increasingly lower.

That's not to say the recent process of rapid urbanization with many buildings fell on city surface area also contributed to land subsidence.

Center for Informatics conclusion by analyzing the satellite images from January to May 3-2010 10-1992 of the European Space Agency and Japan. Accordingly, most districts have sunk area with a speed cen-ti-met/nam; the District 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, Tan Phu, Binh Thanh and Thu Duc the Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon, Nha subsidence rate of 1.5 centimeters / year.

According to the Center for Informatics, from 1992 to now, many parts of the HCM City has sunk from 20 to 30 cen-ti-meter sunk to some 50 regional cen-ti-meters. This explains why more and more areas in the city were flooded when the tide locally.

SINKING in summary:
Vietnam: Most of Ho Chi Minh is below +2.0 m elevation due subsidence land !!!!
Indonesia: North Jakarta 70% land below sea level due subsidence land!!!!
Thailand: Bangkok - The topography, Many parts of the city below sea level due subsidence land!!!!


Vietnam SINKING: (Average height of town - 19 meters)"Increased flooding due to subsidence. These days, people in the area of ​​TP tides extremely miserable by the end of October was the peak high tide to 1.57 m, exceeding the history of the past 50 years. Meanwhile, the "research project ground deformation" by the Center for Informatics (National University of Ho Chi Minh) made in 2010 showed that out of 116 routes regularly flooded by high tides, 79 roads have been affected by ground subsidence. "According to Prof. Dr. Le Phu (Ton Duc Thang University), most of Ho Chi Minh is below +2.0 m elevation, about 1.450km2, with 75.6% of the natural area.This area is located in the tidal influence as well as causing difficulties in the natural drainage. As Prof. Dr. Le Huy Ba (Institute of Science, Technology and Environmental Management) said that the City has the character of an "urban flood tide,"......when sea level rises 50 cm longer, pushing up to 2m, the top court in Ho Chi Minh will just be ... an oasis!"" /Meanwhile, in Soc Trang, the days of the upstream flood poured in, combined with high tide line have many dikes in Cu Lao Dung District, Ke Sach, Vinh Chau, Tran break, spill, causing flooding, damage thousands of hectares of crops, fisheries, worth over 52 billion.In Tien Giang, the whole province had two cases of drowning in which a 5-year-old children (in Cai Lay district), 34 sites were flooded to nearly 6,000 students missed school in flooded areas. Floodwaters inundating tides combined 460ha in clusters outside the dike Tan Phuoc district, nearly 120ha near 6.400ha crops and fruit trees, 5,095 homes, over 150ha of water surface for aquaculture in four watershed district, close losses 41 tons of seafood of all kinds. Total losses of 20 billion. In Tra Vinh, rising tide has broken more than 60 landslides and embankment causing flooding nearly 600ha of sugarcane and hundreds of hectares of crops in Tra Cu district. In coastal districts, sea levels to erode dikes 1,600 village market, Hiep Thanh, causing damage to over 1,000 plant casuarina coastal forests. Schools in Long Hoa commune, 3 villages in the sea eroded Insects, each segment length of 300m. The waters overflow into agricultural land, leaving farmers increasingly reel. / Flood situation in the province of Bac Lieu has not been reduced. Tides plus winds inundate many roads, residential areas and eroded many areas of forest. In Lieu city, filled with sugar water and Cao Van Lau residential resort of Nha Mat ward. At Hoa Binh district, intrusion of sea water inland, offered by the road National Highway 1A, spill into the winter-spring rice production.

Thailand SINKING: But the reality is. The severity of flooding is becoming more serious as any other additional factors such as land subsidence/ Today, 01/11/2011, to appease the wrath of the people in the suburban neighborhood, still submerged under water, the government was trying to reassure Bangkok




Thailand:

Flooding that occurred in Thailand this year. It is most serious in decades.

The water situation is critical. Tended to Bangkok The capital of the country. May have to suffer the fate that is different from Nakhon Sawan and the. Ayutthaya That was a huge mass of water to flow into the flood. Confined almost never left the ground dry as long as a week.

The government and many sectors have been trying to fix some all-out However, the change brings with it new problems such as conflicts between communities in different areas. The long-term flooding and more intense. A concern to many parties.

So as a way to gather. And provide useful information to solve problems of this country.

Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University. So the stage. 'Round table discussion. Discussion of the great flood in the more serious conflict 'to create a better understanding of people. And offer a wide variety of research based information.

As well as receiving. Comments from representatives of the academic sector. Both science and social science. Lead to the lessons of the crisis. And find ways to solve problems in the long run.



Dr. Thanawat doing Phong currency of the disaster and spatial information. Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University. Start a dialogue with the state of New York. From past to present it.

Thai people living in the past with 'water' is a peaceful way of life that nature. And living conditions to the conditions in each season as a high platform with two home grown rice ฟaglai river in flood.

But in the latter city, both social and economic growth. Into a large city. The nature of land use change.

People have grown popular in modern homes. The high land fills. It is believed that it was protected from flooding.

But the reality is. The severity of flooding is becoming more serious as any other additional factors such as land subsidence as a catalyst drainage problems. The expansion of urban and agricultural areas. Loss of low-lying areas. The catchment area of ​​river bank overflow exists in the original text of the seven positions on the field of Western Thung Luang or Thung Rangsit wickerwork. Field Type field, there's Dong Bang Khen and Tung Tung Tung Bagแprk Minburi - somewhat negative TB.

Now the only remaining just 2-3.



a long time.



In around 160 years ago that the average size of severe flooding which can occur over the 114 model, also known as' period prevalence of repeated 114 times, and divided into three periods.

During the first year that the 2411 flood is the most natural. Since the development of most areas. Often the hot water canal moat. And linking Khlong Saen Saeb canal, like the most - some Knak. Cheeks and the areas or fields of water, the very existence of the capital as well as the size increases from 2 to 6 Tr.k.m. Tr.k.m. only.

During the years 2411-2500, Thai society is starting to change on all sides. Affect the development of natural cheeks with water to rice fields throughout the year.

The canal was dug to 'flood diversion' from the area and as a route to transport agricultural products, such as the Rangsit canal water during 2411-2485 decreased approximately 40 percent of a small flood of any recurrence. 2 years and 5 years until the year 2485, major flooding, which is kind of a big flood every 100 years, resulting indirectly in speeding up measures to prevent flooding.

Later in the year 2500 large dams such as dams, King Bhumibol Dam in 2507, Queen Sirikit dam in 2515 and 2541 Pa Sak Dam Jolasid make changes to the flood conditions. Several low lying areas can be more like the rice fields west of the river and so on.

But the starting point. Climate change flood lower Chao Phraya. Would be created. 'Dam Nat' was completed in 2500 large dams in the Chao Phraya River Basin.



Dr. Thanawat that. After floods in 2526 caused the improved security. Construction vehicles are water and land blockade. The rapid expansion of urban areas to more than 400 186 Tr.k.m. Tr.k.m. The study found that the incidence of flooding over the period of 2 years and 5 years of decline.

But the periodic flooding that has emerged over the last 10 years and 25 years increased by 50 percent and 15 percent respectively, indicating that the condition is more severe flooding in the future. Which they had originally predicted that Bangkok may be submerged by the year 2563 does not think this will come soon.

Estimate of the amount of water will be close in 2538, but the intensity may be compared with the year 2485 is a periodic occurrence of large floods over the past 75 years in Thailand.

"The dam has an advantage in itself. I managed to be good. The problem is that this is not done. It is a tsunami tidal wave of fresh water. This question is a disaster caused by human fault. The continuation of the fair. National change. The situation to escalate because of the way they think is wrong or not, "Dr. Thanawat questions.

Also, why is critical to the severity of flooding. The expansion of the city as well as random and uncontrollable.

Condition of air pollution and waste water sound wastewater land subsidence.

Thai authorities tried to justify the priority at the center of Bangkok


Today, 01/11/2011, to appease the wrath of the people in the suburban neighborhood, still submerged under water, the government was trying to reassure Bangkok. As leaders, government can not do to help all those affected by disaster, while protecting the city center is a top priority.

Hundreds of Thai people in Bangkok have peripheries very angry, because the government says they have sacrificed to protect the city center. Many of these have found many ways to breach the dikes protecting the heart, polluting some water pipes. The government in Bangkok was forced to call for help from the military to protect the levees.

The rain pouring in from Thailand Midlands floods have caused overflow of capital entrained mud, trash and pollute water sources. However, as noted by AFP, people in several counties north of the capital from several days to live with floods.

In addition to property that was washed away all, they were faced with food scarcity, disease and sometimes death.Meanwhile, west of the Chao Phraya River, about 45 minutes from the capital motorways, life continues as normal, as if nothing had happened.

A spokesman for the Bangkok city government explained to AFP that, because of the small boats and military vehicles, the government can not go to every corner to distribute food and water three times a day . He urged all citizens to endeavor, to understand where the food supply to be able to go get.

Due to flooding in Thailand, yesterday, 31/10/2011, car maker Honda of Japan today announced since 1 / 11, the production of the six assembly plants in Canada and America will fall by half in about 10 days. The reason comes from the shortage of spare parts.

Increasing flood: risk becoming "oasis"
02/11/2011 07:04

(HNM) - The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok is the second city of the 10 worst affected by climate change (CC). Therefore, the game "cataclysm" that Thailand suffered by TP caused many people to worry, because like Thailand, in addition to the impact of natural, Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok are facing the same problem problem created by humans, such as excessive exploitation of groundwater causes subsidence, building widespread flooding more severe ...

Increased flooding due to subsidence

These days, people in the area of ​​TP tides extremely miserable by the end of October was the peak high tide to 1.57 m, exceeding the history of the past 50 years. Meanwhile, the "research project ground deformation" by the Center for Informatics (National University of Ho Chi Minh) made in 2010 showed that out of 116 routes regularly flooded by high tides, 79 roads have been affected by ground subsidence.

The lives of people in Ho Chi Minh increasingly difficult due to high tides.

This study shows that ground-state settlement is taking place in Ho Chi Minh and no signs of stopping. Prof. Dr. Le Van Trung, director of Center for Informatics, said: Since 1996-1997, TP subsidence has occurred. However, the most rapid subsidence have since 2003-2004 onwards, shown by the collapse of land in the district of Hoc Mon District 9 ... Many wards and communes in districts 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, Tan Phu, Binh Tan, Go Vap, Binh Thanh, Thu Duc, Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon, Nha 7-10mm/nam subsidence; 67 wards and communes in 17 districts have fairly rapid subsidence rate (on 10mm/nam). Especially in areas where rapid urbanization as District 2, 7, 9, 12, Tan Phu, Binh Thanh and Thu Duc is the subsidence is alarming than 15mm/nam.

The main cause sinkage is determined by the extraction of groundwater. Ten years ago the number of wells drilled has increased 6.5 times and the exploitation of groundwater has exceeded 600.000m3/ngay. Since 2000, the city's underground water level lowered from 2-3m/nam and continuously from 1994 to 2004 were down 20 meters deep, causing dry remove the aquifers. According to Prof. Dr. Le Van Trung, TP mapping partitions to prohibit and restrict groundwater extraction in order to keep the settlement does not exceed 5mm/nam, in addition to redefine the entire height control in the face of base context of sea level rise, land subsidence as a basis for the essential background in construction, in the works to prevent flooding.

... and unplanned construction

According to Prof. Dr. Le Phu (Ton Duc Thang University), most of Ho Chi Minh is below +2.0 m elevation, about 1.450km2, with 75.6% of the natural area. This area is located in the tidal influence as well as causing difficulties in the natural drainage. As Prof. Dr. Le Huy Ba (Institute of Science, Technology and Environmental Management) said that the City has the character of an "urban flood tide," but the re-planning against natural law should flood the system corollary. According to Le Huy Ba, rather than expansion and urban development on the uplands north and northwest (eg, Hoc Mon, Cu Chi, Thu Duc ...), the City focused on the development of low-lying, low, geological weakness in the southeast. Therefore, the canals, natural flows are being filled.

According to statistics, nearly 700 TP rivers, canals with total length of over 1,000 km, of which many drainage lines is important. However, in the period 1990-2004, approximately 50 large and small canals, the total area of ​​16.42 ha, has "disappeared" by being filled completely. Dr. Nguyen Bach Phuc, chairman of the scientific advice and technology management in Ho Chi Minh also said that, increasingly high tides are not only sea level rise that much because of any building, leveling drainage flow of water. The study of rainfall, the top court in 1990, Prof. Dr. Ho Long Phi, Deputy Executive Coordinator Center Flood TP program, said about 20 years, the water level in Vung Tau increased only 0.8 cm / year, while the stations of Phu An, Nha (Ho Chi Minh City) nearly doubled, to 1.5 cm / year.

Because of the above reasons that TP increasingly severe flooding, while the anti-flooding projects cost billions of dollars can not be completed. According to Mr. Ho Long Phi, the impact of humans on urban flooding is very clear, by TP increasingly severe flooding during the urbanization process, and if there were no projects to prevent flooding and how to effectively manage better urban management, when sea level rises 50 cm longer, pushing up to 2m, the top court in Ho Chi Minh will just be ... an oasis!

Cambodia Sinking: The floods that have affected three-quarters of the country’s land area- “This is the worst I’ve seen in my career”

Nov 2, 2011
Flood victims sought refuge on patches of land in Cambodia's Battambang Province, hit by the worst flooding in living memory.

BATTAMBANG, Cambodia — The high water is devastating even for a country inured to monsoon rains and waterlogged rice fields: wide swaths of Cambodia’s countryside have become giant lakes, with villagers and livestock marooned on scattered patches of dry land.
The floods that have affected three-quarters of the country’s land area, by the United Nations’ estimate, have been overshadowed by similar troubles in Cambodia’s larger and wealthier neighbor, Thailand, where the government is scrambling to protect central Bangkok from inundation.
Here in Cambodia, though, aid workers describe a more Darwinian struggle and a generally higher degree of desperation among villagers.
“This is the worst I’ve seen in my career,” said Soen Seueng, a 58-year-old doctor who tended to a long line of flood victims on Wednesday, most of them women and children, who were camped on a strip of raised land accessible only by boat.
Dr. Seueng grasped the limp arm of a 6-year-old girl, Lor Chaneut, who received a diagnosis of dengue fever, the mosquito-borne disease that can be fatal without close medical attention. “You must take her to the hospital,” Dr. Seueng urged the girl’s family.
The girl’s mother, Jeok Kimsan, said the family’s savings were wiped out by the floods. “We will go to the hospital when we get some money,” she said, as her husband built a fish trap.
Flood victims, many of whom begged a foreign visitor for help, took shelter here under plastic sheeting, like refugees from a civil war. Cows, pigs and chickens shared the strip of dry land, which was covered with animal and human waste.
“The toilet is everywhere,” said Henry Y. Sophorn, a Cambodian-born American who represents a nonprofit group,Disadvantaged Cambodians Organization, which is part of a syndicate delivering aid to flood victims.
In Thailand, the government has used helicopters, military vehicles and an array of equipment to reach and assist flood victims, but in Cambodia the work of providing basic necessities has been largely left to private organizations.
“The government can only help a small number of people — they don’t have the capacity,” said Mr. Sophorn, whose organization has supplied 3,400 families with medical care, rice, instant noodles, canned fish and bottled water, using money from a donor in Hong Kong who has asked to remain anonymous.

With little or no government assistance, many villagers have been left to fend for themselves.
“The big impact is just starting,” said Sen Jeunsafy, a spokeswoman in Cambodia for Save the Children, an international aid organization. “What we have done is provided immediate relief. But collectively, we have not been able to reach every family.”

Aid workers say the full scope of the flood crisis in Cambodia is not yet known, because many affected areas are remote and out of communication. In all, the United Nations estimates that 1.2 million people out of a population of about 15 million may have been affected.

Rice farmers and fishermen in Cambodia have long abided by the rhythm of the monsoon and dry seasons, which causes the country’s largest freshwater lake, Tonle Sap, to swell and contract. But this year, relentless rains brought flooding to the highest levels in living memory, said Ngin Vath, a 50-year-old fisherman. “Normally at this time of year everything is dry.”
Villagers say the water has finally started to recede. Where only treetops were visible, the tips of ruined rice stalks now peek above the surface. But the floodwaters remain dangerous: two children drowned last week, Mr. Vath said.

With rice crops ruined and houses destroyed, reconstruction will be difficult, Ms. Jeunsafy said. “People will face many problems just trying to survive.”

Meanwhile, on the slopes of Mount Merapi, has also been raging flood. In fact, the water that came from the mixed material shoulder Merapi eruption of Mount Merapi last year.

Staunchly sure, the intensity of rainfall will increase after the rainy season truly arrived. "The peak will occur in January or February next year. That's in general," he said. Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java Nusa Tenggara will experience up to the peak of the rainy season it is.

What a gallery, evidence of effects of predicted 7 of 10 scenarios!
In Indonesia, they make it very clear that 1. It is not even wet season yet, and 2. There has not been that much rain:
"Indeed, the floods that occurred during the transition season from dry to wet. Today, still not high rainfall intensity. Rainfall, is still quite normal."

And yet, there are vast areas flooded. Evidence of sinking, folding effects there, the Sunda Plate dive. And as if sinking land is not enough, some areas have volcanic activity to deal with as well.
Then we have Cambodia, where "According to UN estimates, floods have affected three quarters of land in Cambodia and about 1.2 million of the country's 15 million people. Flood plains turned into vast lakes. People have to find yourself on the Active: select a dry land."
And Vietnam, where they are "flooded by high tides."
All the above inundated countries on that folding and diving Sunda Plate, and suffering predicted effects. It is diving, being pushed down under a curve in the Indo Australia Plate, which is tilting down at the India end.The latest place to show effects of this forced dive down under the Himalayas:

Udupi, India, where they are getting flooding from what they admit is only:
"Moderate rains accompanied with thunder and lightning were witnessed on the evenings of Wednesday November 2 and Thursday November 3."
Close to the coast they reported seawater inundation in early Sept. Indicative of sinking etc, a symptom of the Indo Australia Plate's dive at this end, I would suggest.

Situation Update No. 1
On 2011-11-06 at 16:52:35 [UTC]

Event: Flash Flood
Location: Italy Campania and Piedmont Napoli, Turin
Situation:The mayor of Naples ordered a much-awaited soccer match scrapped Sunday for fear tens of thousands of fans could be trapped by flooding, while in northern Italy authorities closely monitored the rain-swollen Po river. Luigi De Magistris said he ordered the Serie A match between Napoli and Juventus postponed to some later date, partly because the field was already soggy, but mainly because of concern some 65,000 fans could be trapped in flooding or cause traffic problems as they drove to or from the stadium. The sprawling outdoor ruins of ancient Pompeii on the outskirts of Naples were temporarily closed for fear of flooding, but later were reopened to tourists, authorities said. The area has been pounded by torrential rain that has already claimed one life. Near the Naples suburb of Pozzuoli, a tree fell on a car, killing the driver, local fire chief Giovanni Fricano told Sky TG24.

Much of Italy, especially the northwest, has been pummeled by heavy rains and flooding over the last two weeks. The latest worry in the north concerned the Po river, the waters of which swelled from two rain fed-tributaries, the head of Italy's Civil Protection agency, Franco Gabrielli said. He told reporters that Sunday evening could be a crucial time for the Po's level, if the rain becomes heavier. A bridge across a Po tributary, the Pellice stream, in the countryside outside Turin, collapsed Sunday as waters rushed through, the Italian news agency ANSA said. No injuries were reported. Flash flooding in the center of Genoa, on the Liguria sea, killed six people Friday, including several people who took shelter in a doorway along a major street when flood waters came barreling down on them. Elsewhere in northwestern Italy, hillside towns in the Cinque Terre tourist area were still shoveling out from tons of mud from earlier flooding that claimed nine lives in Liguria and Tuscany. Much of largely mountainous Italy is geologically fragile, as people build homes on the slopes of hillsides, leaving them vulnerable for mudslides. In neighboring France, 11 regions were on alert Sunday after heavy rains in the touristic Var and Alpes-Maritime regions swelled rivers and left some towns under water, forcing hundreds to evacuate.

According to the Var prefecture, at least 750 people were evacuated from flooded areas in the coastal towns of Frejus, Roquebrune and in Tourves, inland north of Toulon. The heavy rain was marching westward toward the Atlantic, putting the Pyrenees region on alert. At least one flood-related death has been reported in France. The body of a man was found Saturday morning on a riverbank in Lezignan-la-Cebe in the Herault region. Officials there said the victim was likely a homeless German who lived in a van and was reported missing Friday.

 

พายุโซนร้อนเข้าโอมาน มีน้ำท่วมฉับพลัน ตาย 14 บาดเจ็บ 200

Event: Tropical Storm
Location: Oman Province of Sadh Coastal region

Number of Deads: 14 person(s)
Number of Injured: 200 person(s)

Situation:At least fourteen people have been killed after Tropical Storm Keila impacted the Arab state of Oman this week, officials said on Friday. More than 200 people have been injured. Flash floods and high winds caused by Keila swept through much of the Arab Gulf country on Wednesday and Thursday, leaving more than a dozen people killed. "So far 14 people have died in three different towns. At least 200 people suffered from various degrees of injuries," Mohammed Saleh, a member of the storm emergency committee, told The National newspaper. Saleh explained that three of the victims were electrocuted, nine drowned and two were "crushed by heavy objects." All of the patients from two major hospitals in the capital of Muscat had to be evacuated after water began entering the buildings, the report said. "Police helicopters evacuated about 60 patients from Al Nahdha and Khoula hospitals. They are closed now for maintenance. The patients have been transferred to other hospitals," a police official told The National. He said he did not know when the hospitals will reopen. According to witnesses, some drivers were forced to scramble on the roofs of their cars as rainwater swept across major motorways in the country. The floods also damaged hundreds of cars and houses.In the north of the country, winds up to 73 kilometers (45 miles) per hour ruined crops and farmhouses. Keila, which weakened into a low pressure area over the west central Arabian Sea on Friday, is part of the North Indian Ocean cyclone season.
