Jakarta floods
There are floods again in Jakarta, and in other areas. Over 100,000 people have been displaced by water up to 3 meters deep. Many will have lost what little they ever had.
It seems like every five years they have this problem. I remember both 2007 and 2002, and they were awful.
I hope everyone is safe, and if you get a chance, please offer some support to those who are suffering.

Re: Jakarta floods
My sympathy to all those affected . My house was badly flooded when Bangkok flooded the year before last . We had to leave there for 2 months waiting for the water to go down . Hope it doesn't get like that .
