One Flood in Bangkok

Sending thoughts and prayers to Bangkok, where almost all of Mama's extended family lives (in the large Chinese community).  The houses, businesses, and livelihoods of several of her family members, including her 95+ year old grandfather, are threatened by rising flood waters from weeks of rain, weakening (or sabotaged) levees, and strained dams.  The WHO worries about open sewers and malaria.  The flooding could continue for 6 weeks or more, with effects beyond that.
