Floods in Early 2020

Floods in Early 2020

Flood, yup, that’s the word that fills all the media today. Jakarta and its surroundings were flooded in the morning at the beginning of the 2020 new year. Heavy rain that occurred from the afternoon of December 31, 2019 until the morning resulted in flooding of several residential areas and roads.

 

 

Like the working road route that I went through that morning, starting from the inundation in front of Sparks, where on the top of the overpass leading to Gatot Subroto street, there was 1 car and 1 motorcycle experiencing problems (breakdown) and next to Balai Kartini to Puri Denpasar Hotel, here it was quite severe, several motorcycles broke down after passing through puddles as high as adults’ knees. How is my motorcycle? Experience from previous floods, don’t start the engine, so just push it at that time and thank God it went smoothly afterwards.

Unfortunately, I did not have time to document the incident, due to the impossible situation and my cellphone that was not waterproof. Some friends reported that their areas also experienced floods such as Ciledug and Bekasi, and below is one of the sightings, hehehe.

Hopefully this incident will pass quickly and we can take lessons from this incident, amiiinnnn.
