Jakarta Underwater, Flood in Most Area of Jakarta
Two weeks ago, almost all area in Jakarta was flooded. The flood was started on Friday, 2nd of February 2007 after heavy rain for three days every night. I know this blog post is kind of too late, but I was very busy in this two weeks working on a web project for a client from Australia and also I had a trip to Bangka Belitung, I’ll tell you about my trip to Bangka Belitung later on another post.
It was a sudden disaster that Jakarta was flooded, although it’s predictable that Jakarta is always had a flood annually but nobody think that the flood was very bad. Almost all area in Jakarta is covered by water, from 20 cm up to 3 meters! Thousand of houses were gone in the water, you can only see the roof. This means thousand of people suddenly homeless.
