Indonesia: Flash flood inundates 3,000 homes in Majalaya

Some 3,000 homes in Majalaya, West Java were submerged on Thursday after a flash flood hit the town.

Kompas.com reported those homes were inundated by water up to one meter high.

A volunteer, Iwan Kustiawan, said the flash flood was more dangerous than regular floods as residents were not ready to deal with it.
