JAKARTA, March 7 (UPI) -- Thousands of people fled their homes Friday in East Java, Indonesia, as more rivers burst their banks after days of heavy rains, officials said.
The flooding was in the Tuban and Bojonegoro districts.
In one village, Selogabus, almost 500 houses were flooded, along with several schools, a villager told Antara news agency. Floodwaters cut off some roads and inundated the bus terminal in Purubaya.
On Monday, eight dams burst in East Java and three deaths were reported, including that of a 6-month-old baby, the Jakarta Globe reported. At that point, at least eight people had been killed by flooding in two weeks.
The flooding also cut off three villages.
