Floods in Indonesia's Bali kill at least six, say officials
- Intense rainfall overnight from Tuesday into Wednesday led to floods in Bali, causing the collapse of two buildings in Denpasar and resulting in at least six fatalities on September 10.
- The floods followed continuous downpours and an early warning by the Bali Meteorology Agency, with several rivers including Tukad Badung overflowing due to heavy rain influenced by atmospheric Rossby Waves.
- Flooding submerged two-storey houses, blocked major roads around Denpasar including access to the international airport, and prompted evacuations of 85 people in the Jembrana region while traffic gridlock worsened.
- An Australian TikTok user described this as the biggest storm in Bali in ten years with rain lasting two days, while about 200 rescuers operated in chest-deep waters to assist residents.
- The flooding caused widespread property damage, threatened incomes, and required ongoing cleanup and rescue efforts, indicating serious recovery challenges for affected communities.
