flood in Sihanoukville, as heavy rains sent water pouring into houses and submerged some roads on the evening of August 24.

Preah Sihanouk Provincial Hall spokesman Kheang Phearom told on August 25 that authorities had not yet determined the full extent of the damage caused by the flooding as it was still raining heavily in the province.

“The provincial administration would like to call on all people to be extra careful and find a safe place to wait out the storm. Do not leave your homes unless absolutely necessary. In particular, do not travel on submerged roads, down slopes or near any places with rapidly flowing water to avoid possible accidents,” he said.

He said that on the evening of August 24 from 5-8pm, there was moderate to heavy rain in Sihanoukville, with rainfall steadily rising to a total of 285 mm, which caused flooding in low-lying areas and eventually overtopping the main canals in Sihanoukville after 10pm.
