Heavy Rainfall Floods Indonesia

Persistent heavy rains led to flooding and landslides throughout Indonesia in late December 2007 and early January 2008, resulting in numerous fatalities and crop losses. The most heavily populated island in the chain, Java, was the hardest hit—at least 112 people died on the island from flooding or landslides.
