@TreetopMe@CollardJohnnie @mrabonza @Ventuskycom Hi - following you because our sis in law in on the island ( she’s staying at haad yao bayview resort) You tweet and she doesn’t - so your updates are most welcome to her worried mum!!
Stuck with #pabuk in #kohphangan#thailand - no information on evacuation shelter on the island. We’re up in the north east at Than Sadet. Anybody an idea?
@CollardJohnnie @mrabonza @Ventuskycom I agree and am using Windy too. Looks like things are going to get crazy in the next 30-90 minutes. This restaurant is about 10m above sea level and at least 0.5km back from the sea.
It’s coming! Winds have picked up, shore being hit by 1-2m waves. This is about as rough as it usually gets here but apparently we are expecting 6m waves. #Pabuk
Still a small minority that don’t believe the storm will be bad. People venturing out of the shelter to look around. One guy wants to risk it on his beachfront bungalow. Others haven’t watched the news...
@mrabonza @Ventuskycom Thanks. I’m in a concrete restaurant ‘shelter’ that’s quite far back from the beach. There are about 30 people here and we’re expecting more to arrive soon.
This is as rough as I have ever experienced here. Wind has definitely changed direction a bit and now we’re less sheltered. Feelings of excitement and fear; sharing disaster stories. It’s about to get real... #Pabuk#pabukstorm
