Singaraja (Antara Bali)- Flash floods destroyed tens of houses in two
villages in Gerokgak Sub-district, Buleleng District, Bali Province, on
Sunday.
Tens of families fled to safer areas as the floods swept away their

"The flooding is triggered by incessant heavy rains that have fallen since Saturday afternoon," Pribadi noted.
In Musi village, seven houses were washed out and tens of others were
damaged by the flood, forcing around 56 families to evacuate themselves
to higher grounds.
He added that in Penyabangan village, eight houses were destroyed
and tens of other were damaged, while 36 families took refuge in safer
places.
The local authorities have set up emergency tens and provided
