Flooding in the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta has
resulted in the death of 15 people, with almost half of the deaths being caused
by electrocution. Though the month of January is when the monsoon rains are
most common, the city received more rain in the past week than it normally does
throughout the entire month. The polluted water has forced 19,000 of the 95,000
people that are affected by the flooding to relocate. The water has even begun to flood the
presidential palace. A state of emergency has been declared as schools and
businesses remain closed.

I can't believe people are getting electrocuted. That's awful.
