Nine people were killed and dozens of homes were damaged today as floods swept through villages in the Indonesian province of West Java. Hours of torrential rain caused rivers in the Garur district to overflow their banks and submerge thousands of homes. Thousands of residents were fleeing their homes for safety, and the floods also collapsed many power lines. Floods and landslides are common in Indonesia, which is densely populated and prone to frequent heavy rains. Environmentalists warned that logging and a failure to reforest denuded land in the world\'s fourth-most populous country are often to blame.
