In Reply to: Jakarta rain effecting Bali ? posted by Fernandez on Tuesday, 6. February 2007 at 11:37 Bali Time:
Hi, I live in Jakarta, and was flooded out on the weekend (1.4metres deep in the basement), there are some posts about it further down...
Jakarta t0 Bali is 1.5hours plane flight away (approx 1200kms away)... So the rain isnt affecting Bali at the moment. But the rains are slowly moving east, they are now flooding some towns in West Java...
The waters in Jakarta are slowly receding and we are still getting very severe storms during the night, usually at about 3 or 4am for the last 5 days..
Im very thankful my power hasnt been cut off (others have been unlucky), the water from the taps here is yellowish.. and most landline phones are still not working... even using mobiles are difficult at the moment...
Today is my first day back at work, after have an extra long weekend, im dreading leaving the house in about 15mins and going thru the traffic. I have no idea what it will be like. I just want to get home tonight...because most of the major roads are still under 2 metres of water...
