Floods that hit areas in Bandarlampung have different heights from the lowest adult waist.
The flood also made four-wheeled vehicles in Waylunik swept away by the flow of water. Even Yos Sudarso Street to Panjang District is difficult to pass by four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles.
Then the suspension bridge at the Putri Sumur tourist location was destroyed due to the heavy overflow of water.
