REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - After Iggy tropical cyclone moving away, the threat of bad weather still lingers in Indonesia. Extreme weather related to transition season caused disaster in several regions last week.

Flash flood caused by heavy rain swept Tangse, Pidie, Aceh last Saturday night. Kebun Nilam, Blang Maloe, and Pulo Mesjid in Tangse were inundated, the Head of Data, Information, and Public Relation of National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, said. The flood causes Tengku Idris (55 years) missing.

The flash flood hit 14 houses in Kebun Nilam. At least four houses were swept and a house was damaged heavily in Blang Maloe. “The flood caused Kuala Panteue bridge damaged and cut the connection Beureunuen-Tangse,” Nugroho said on Sunday.

The authorities have not calculated the total loss. Meanwhile, Pidie and Aceh Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBA) have been in the disaster location to rescue and evacuate the residents. The flash flood also swept this exact region eleven months ago.
