Flooding in . . . Indonesia

You know the horrible news about a village that was swallowed up by a mudslide in the Philippines? Well, unless you read, say, BBC's Asia-Pacific edition, you probably wouldn't know that the rains, flooding, and related problems were more widespread than the Filipino people.

We have friends living in Indonesia, and they sent a few pictures from their neck of the jungle. On the first one, note the water line about five feet up the wall. On the second, note what's being poured out the window -- the stuff all over the ground, which was all over the floor of the house. (Click on the photos to see a bigger version.)
