Vientiane authorities were scrambling to flood-proof the city centre
yesterday, attempting to increase protective measures in case the
Mekong River level rises to 15 metres.

Measures already in place were designed to protect Vientiane if the
river rose to 14m. But these precautions were boosted yesterday in
response to forecasts from the Department of Meteorology and
Hydrology, which predict the Mekong River will rise to 14.2m tomorrow.

The Vientiane Flooding and Drought Prevention Committee's Secretariat
Head, Vilasack Nammounty, said technical staff were discussing
preventive measures, including the use of electrical poles or wooden
stilts to help support walls of sandbags. It is hoped reinforcing the
walls will prevent sandbags from being swept away if floodwaters rise
further.

The Mekong River was at 13.26m yesterday morning at 7am, and now hit
the new record at 13.78 m.

The flood also hit national highway no. 13 in the central part of Laos

This is the act of phanga Nak, the dragon king's message that you
cannot dam rivers for pennies and take up generations to pay for your
idiotic cave dwelling leaders' decisions. Oh...wait, he will detroy
dams and millions of folks live a long the low lands will become
"Padek" like Burma in recent months.
