A landslip and falling trees crushed cars south of Patong late yesterday

Phuket Landslip, Floods With Andaman Warned of Storms to Come

Sunday, September 27, 2015
PHUKET: A landslip yesterday gave warning of two stormy days to come on Phuket and around the Andaman region where small boats are being advised not to go to sea.

The falling earth crushed two cars parked in a soi on a headland south of Patong, behind Simon Cabaret late yesterday but the road and falling trees had been cleared by mid-morning.

Flooding was also reported on major roads, including Thepkasattri Road, outside SuperCheap especially.

Forecasters have warned small boats not to put to sea today or tomorrow but there has been no official ban authorised by Phuket's Marine 5 office.

Predictions are that mid-to-heavy rain will continue to fall across Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga and Ranong provinces today and tomorrow, with conditions expected to improve on Tuesday.

Three-metre waves are forecast with 30kmh winds, gusting more strongly.

Overnight from 7pm to 7am, the Phuket International weather station recorded 96.9mm of rain.
