Floods, landslides, kill dozens in Indonesia and East Timor 3 April 2021.

Flash floods unleashed by torrential heavy rains early on Sunday killed 23
people on Indonesia’s island of Flores, injuring nine more while five went
missing, as the tiny neighboring nation of East Timor reported three deaths.

At least 49 families were hit on the island in the east of Indonesia’s
sprawling archipelago. Dozens of houses were buried in mud in Lamanele
village... residents’ houses washed away by the flood. Power supplies were cut
and the presidential palace was flooded as heavy rain and strong winds have
lashed Dili since late on Saturday. Indonesia’s weather agency said a tropical
cyclone was approaching the Savu Straits between the southern part of Nusa
Tenggara province and East Timor’s north coast, warning that it could bring
yet more rain, waves and winds.
