Floods in Jakarta

I was in Jakarta during the past three days.

The flood was bad. It caused traffic congestion as the vehicles had to move slowly through the flooded roads. Some broke down, causing further bottlenecks.

Many homes did not have electricity.

About one third of the employees could not get to work, due to lack of electricity or public transport.

It took me 2 1/2 hours to travel from the city center to the airport. In normal days, it should have taken less than 1 hour. I nearly missed my flight.
