LANDSLIDE KILLS TWO, INJURES TWO IN SINGAJAYA, GARUT
Garut, Indonesia, Oct. 8 (ANTARA) - A landslide and mud flood killed two persons and injured two others in the Limus Tilu RT. 05/03 area, Cihudian village, Singajaya sub district, Garut, here on Thursday.
The landslide killed Raim (78) and his daughter, Caca (25), while his wife, Rumaenah (60), and his elder daughter, Adah (30), Asep Rahmat Solihin, the head of Singajay sub district, said here on Thursday.
Rumaenah who was seriously wounded was rushed to Dr Slamet Public Hospital.
The landslide which was triggered by incessant downpours, also destroyed five other houses, forcing the occupants to flee to safer areas.
Meanwhile, a traditional sand miner identified as Dahlan (35) was buried by a sand slide at Pangauban, also in Garut District. Another miner, Ade (39), was injured in the disaster.
In Tolitoli, Central Sulawesi, incessant heavy rains triggered floods and landslides on Thursday morning.
In Baolan sub district, three areas, namely Kilometer 1, Kilometer 2, and Sidoarjo Tanjung, were affected by the landslides. The landslides cut off the road which connected two neighboring districts, namely Buol and Gorontalo.
"Heavy rain this morning has caused landslides. Residents here were shocked," a local inhabitant said.
Floods in Tolitoli city inundated more than half of the city's houses and a number of roads.
The floodwaters reaching heights of between an adult's knee and a house's roof swamped hundreds of houses and public facilities.
The worst-hit area was the Tuweley neighborhood where local residents were forced to evacuate to higher ground.
In the Anoa Tuweley housing complex alone, some 300 houses were invaded by the floodwaters.
Hundreds of local inhabitants have volunteered to help evacuate women and children in particular. The floods came so suddenly and fast that most people did not have time to save their belongings.
Government offices and schools were closed due to the inundation. ***
