trong winds followed by heavy rain seriously damaged 75 houses in the village of Sidan, the regency of Gianyar, Bali, on Tuesday, and some of them were leveled to the ground.
"Fortunately there were no casualties amid the ruins of the houses," village secretary AA Gede Alit said on Wednesday as quoted by Antara news agency.
The winds slammed across Banjar Bukit Sari, Jagaperang, Sidan and the village of Sidan, in the sub-district of Gianyar, Gede Alit said.
"The rain that followed the strong winds from Bunutan Guliang, in the regency of Bangli, hit when most people were performing a ritual ahead of the Saka New Year of 1937 at the Siut Tulikup beach that afternoon," he said.
The district natural disaster control agency (BPBD) and the military helped the villagers remove debris from the incident sites. (hhr)
