Heavy Rain Floods Nakhon Ratchasima City
Heavy rain flooded Nakhon Ratchasima city center on September 10, stranding motorcycles and affecting traffic across multiple routes. Residents urged drivers to slow down through floodwaters to prevent water damage to nearby homes.
Heavy rain pounded Nakhon Ratchasima city center for approximately two hours on the evening of September 10, resulting in flooding across multiple locations, particularly on roads and in low-lying areas. Traffic congestion occurred on several routes as residents and commuters were affected by the conditions.
Many motorcycles were unable to pass through the flooded zones, with some engines stalling in the middle of the road. Riders had to get off and push their vehicles out of the floodwaters to avoid damage to their engines and electrical systems.
The standing water also affected residents whose homes border the roads. Motorists attempting to speed through the flooded areas to avoid stalling engines caused water to splash forcefully onto nearby homes and residential areas, creating significant distress for local residents.
Residents are urging all road users to exercise caution. When encountering flooded routes, motorists are advised to reduce speed and avoid accelerating through floodwater at high velocity. This will help prevent water from splashing into homes and reduce the risk of accidents and vehicles breaking down on the road.
