Jakarta floods killed 26!

Floods in Indonesia's capital have killed at least 26 people and sent more than 100,000 fleeing their homes. Moreover, Jakarta police spokesman Col. Rikwanto says on Monday that most of the victims were electrocuted or drowned by flood waters reaching up to two meters (6.5 feet) high in some places and about 103,000 people are now living in temporary shelters.

To say more, the floods reached their peak on Thursday after which central Jakarta collapsed including including its business district centre and the presidential palace leaving 30 percent of the city of 14 million in a paralyzed state.

It's really mournful!
