Phuket goes under water. A red alert was declared on the island. Local authorities have declared the highest level of risk due to the threat of flooding. The newspaper "Oma" writes that those who live and work along the Bang Yai Canal have been told to immediately move electrical appliances and valuables to the upper floors. A sharp rise in water was caused by prolonged rain and strong flow from nearby areas. Bad weather has already disrupted transport links. The Chalong area has traffic jams and areas where cars and motorbikes cannot pass.
