Serious rain now...

Stop saying that Jax!!!

Me too but I got it back by refreshing.

Rain has slowed down.

I watched some great videos earlier posted upstream..oh there was one on the daily mail with a blonde reporter showing the camps set up, medianstations, etc etc...anyway point is I was noticing how lush the vegetation is...they say it's hot snd humid there...all those "plants" require a lot of water.

Meanwhile the same rescue divers from yesterday are back in the cave since this morning. The trip to reach the boys was 5-6 hours before, now with lowered water levels it is down to 3-4 hours.

So wait, the water levels are still down then? No effect from the rain? (Yet?)

Mine too. 17, 15, 12.

I have 14 year old twins (my youngests) and I can’t imagine. Can’t sleep - know I should sleep. Praying continually for the rescue!

 

[LaborDayRN]

Does it make anyone else jump when the camera person cleans the lens to get the water off of it?

 

[*Verdigris]

It seems to be really coming down now.

Stop that! NO!!!
OK then, it's just a quickie downpour... will stop in a jiff.

That's less than an hour and a half away. Looks like it's going to be an all nighter. One cup of coffee down, possibly another to go.

 

[Mariel Van Arkle]

Im going to stay up until they are accounted for.

Ok so not long then hopefully. The water pumping must be going well. Who stays behind with the remaining boys?

Coach's aunt: He just wants to "help others"

Amporn Sriwichai, the aunt of the trapped coach. Salman Saeed/CNN
Amporn Sriwichai, the aunt of 25-year-old coach Akkapol Chanthawong, says she wants people to understand that he is a good person, and did not mean for the boys to become trapped. She tells CNN that he was orphaned at the age of 10 and has experienced "many difficulties."

He wants nothing more than to give back and help others, she says.
wrote a letter to his aunt and grandmother, who raised him.

To my aunt and grandmother,I'm OK, don't worry about me too much. Take care of your health. Aunt, please tell grandmother to make a vegetable drink and crispy pork when I get out. I will go and eat it. Love to everybody.
He also wrote to the parents of the boys with him, begging them for forgiveness. In response, they wrote back:

We believe in you and your spirit that you've been taking a good care of our kids. We just want you to know that this is not your fault.

I’ve not felt any pride in being British in recent times ( particularly since the Brexit shenanigans.......) however so immensely proud of these amazing British cave divers, leading the rescue mission.

They truly are.....the Best of the Best!!

Praying they stay safe & their monumental efforts are rewarded with the successful rescue of all the trapped boys. ( In my eyes, the young coach is little more than a boy himself!)

I feel for the families of the cave divers...who know better than us, the danger these men are putting themselves in, to rescue these children.

I pray for their safety, & a successful rescue operation.

(V you OK in japan? Seeing serious flooding xituation.)
(Eta: train derailed in turkey...)

*thank you everyone for the updates!

Yes Magz, thank you! was pouring here, but not flooding - that is farther west. About 100 dead. I feel bad ignoring that disaster right in my own backyard; but I can't break away from our boys! I feel so crass, these poor people have lost their homes, everything!
OK (can't get iinvolved in that too!)
