Flood warning

My wife tells me that there has been a flood warning on the internet. Apparently a number of local (to Surin) reservoirs have become very full and they may need to open the sluice gates. Don't take my word for it but I would suggest that you dust off your wellies and relocate valuables to higher ground just in case.
 
Can you please attach the flood warning from the internet on here.
Thai language will be fine as most of us (other than Rice or Steve) can request a Thai person to translate.
 
What they say is there is a warning for the next 24 hours for many areas, they list them all. But I won't. They state two flood gates will be opened, 0.90 meters high, and they will release 57 cubic meters per second. Or about 5 million cubic meters per day. This will start from October 8.

This warning was issued today. So go figure that they say it started two days ago.
Bye the way that Facebook was re posted from here

We did not see any flood water last time around. Woke up in the morning and there it was. All 2 to 3 meters of it. The paddy fields between thee and me are already flooded to a depth of about 1 meter. If we get a day or more of heavy rain we could be in for another once in a 50 year flood.

Well, if I remember correctly the last big one a few years back was due to the idiots opening the sluice gates too much and due to the pressure behind all that water not being able to close the damn things again. They flooded the klongs, the klong road by us, both sides, and the water just kept going up all the side sois from there. Was a f**king mess.
