This hijab woman explained the river water level of normal conditions had risen by about 150 cm, while the water inundation on the road due to the high water rise reached a maximum of 30 cm. As a result of the increase in the waterway Kahayan River, a number of two-wheeled vehicles belonging to residents who tried to break the road ended by machine dead. Residents must also push vehicles on the roads in Petuk Katim Village which were flooded.
