Many regions across Indonesia are suffering from flooding right now due to torrential rains. Flores is no exception, though no casualties have occurred yet and no evacuations have been necessary. However, as the Flores Pos reported on October 7th, it brought back grim memories of the tsunami caused by the big earthquake in Maumere in 1992. Inhabitants of Maumere, especially of those areas most severely hit were apprehensive.
Here’s hoping that the situation will not get any worse – the rain seems to stay as the usual cycle of dry and rainy seasons seem to continue to be out of whack.
