At least 390 units of houses were destroyed and damaged in three sub-districts - Kaliwates, Patrang, and Sumbersari -- in the regency on Friday, head of the logistic and emergency division of the agency Heru Widagdo said.
Tens of big trees were uprooted blocking roads by heavy rains with whirlwinds and power supply was cut leaving the city of Jember without electricity, Heru said here on Saturday.
"The number of houses damaged is not yet confirmed as the agency still is collecting data . The number is more likely larger," he said.
Provisional figures received by the agency showed that 8 houses collapsed and 38 other had moderate and minor damage in the sub-district of Kaliwates; 8 houses heavily damaged and 175 other houses had moderate and minor damage in the sub-district of Patrang, and 3 houses were destroyed and 159 other houses were moderately and slightly damaged in the sub-district of Sumbersari, he said.
