AKARTA: Hundred residents of Muara Angke in Muara Baru and Marunda, both in North Jakarta, were trapped in their homes after a flash flood deluged roads and residences to a depth of 1 meter on Sunday, paralyzing the neighborhood.

"It's been flooding since Thursday, but the water level only spiked today," said Suherman, a resident of Muara Baru.

The worst of the flooding occurred in front of the Muara Baru fish auction, where the water was waist-deep.
