              flooding           

You know Jakarta is often flooded in recent days? Although it does not have a television, I can guess impressions about the flood certainly quite often aired. It was because, all television stations nationwide presence in Jakarta right. Obviously they felt directly by the floods. And because they have a "funnel", they are so diligent. Speaking of floods, the other day a friend complained he get stuck on the way to work. It took four hours to get where he is making a living of it. Gile ye? Four hours is equivalent to a trip from Yogyakarta to Madiun.

He told me, his shirt soaking forced to walk down from public transportation. "The vehicle did not move," he reported. "I was keciprat water because there casually passing motorcycle. Then I chased him, until the red light I hit his shoulder. Kuomelin him. "I'm sorry to hear laughter mixed story. I can imagine how upset keciprat water on the road. Moreover, if we are in a weak position, such as a pedestrian, while we are splashing good car. Default shot want right?. Although my house is not subject to flooding, rain superderas plus news that many streets were flooded pretty high pick me shut myself in the house.

I do not want silly stuck in traffic because of flooding. Duh, God forbid. Read the chatter of friends in cyberspace when they are stuck in traffic and the flood just made ​​eneg. Imagine if I had to experience it myself. As usual, when it rains like this, the problem for me is ... laundry! With limited clothesline, my patience is tested when wet and rainy. After all, if it does not rain, the sun seemed lazy. Appears only briefly. So miss the sun. Times like this I am grateful that the electricity in the house is not dead. Tap water is still smooth and clean. I can still work at home. But, my husband had to leave for work place as usual. Well, there is one story of a husband who is still remembered to this day. The story, once the heavy rain that morning. Pol deh swift. Before leaving, my husband checked on the internet which area is roughly a severe misfire. He then decided to go up the road passing metromini 49 Utan Kayu. My husband said, he was lucky enough through there because of bad though, not too bad. He rose from the terminal Rawamangun-terminal nearest house.

Time it was ngetem bus, my husband had a chat with the driver. The streets were jammed everywhere and flooding, making the new driver can be two trips since 4 o'clock in the morning (when it was already at 9 more, uh, or even almost at 10 am huh?). The driver then told me about siblings (or neighbors, I forgot deh) who originally lived in Kampung Pulo. As is known, Kampung Pulo is flooded areas. Now his brother was moved in the area Klender and do not want to return to Kampung Pulo. What causes it? Simply because of the flood? Apparently not that simple. The story, when the area was hit by floods, the brothers were about to pack up to flee. When it was suspected that something is left behind and washed away by floods. Know what is drifting? Two-year-old son! I got a story that was just terlongo-longo. How so? How could a child until forgetfulness "transported"? Ah, I do not know. Maybe the old man was too panicked?. I sometimes think, how fragility of Jakarta. Any direct contact with heavy rains flooding. This obviously hurt many people.

Plus flooding certainly cause congestion. If jammed so, how much fuel is wasted while the distant ends of Indonesia there are still many people who need fuel. How much is too much time wasted just because people trapped in floods and get stuck? Not to mention that swept away everything until there's a baby. Jeez ... For my part, the atmosphere of the rain and flooding make vegetables so expensive. Kale is usually enough money in exchange for two thousand, now a five thousand. I hope that Jakarta could better his condition. Besides that I think is important is hopefully other cities can learn from Jakarta. If possible, sufficient Jakarta alone deh who experience this kind of silliness. I mean, the only direct contact with heavy rains flooding. Hopefully other cities as well clean up, not to wealthy Jakarta damage.
