      Townships

      Launglon took most of the dead; Dawei and Thayetchaung took the water

      What the posts say about each township, set against what MIMU records there. Low-lying land is the share of the township below 5 m. Mining is the area of mine sites mapped from 2013–16 imagery.

      Rain is the Open-Meteo model total for 26–28 Sep at the township's main town; Palaw, Yebyu and Bokpyin have no model point here.

      Six days, hour by hour

      When things happened, as the posts tell it; most times are parts of the day, not clock times. A post often reports events from the day before.
