EPOK: Heavy rain and strong winds damaged dozens of houses in the Kemiri Muka, Beji district of Depok municipality on Sunday.
Several semi-permanent kiosks in Kemiri Muka market also collapsed due to the severe weather.
A resident, Andri Yudispiprana, said on Monday that state electricity company PT PLN had been asked to cut off power to the area to prevent accidents.
'It happened so fast. No one was ready when the wind blew off the roof of our house. Rainwater poured in and all our furniture was soaked,' he said.
Strong winds along with heavy rain, have frequently hit Depok this year. In January, dozens of houses in Kali Baru, Cilodong district, were damaged in a storm, while houses in Curug, Bojongsari district, suffered the same fate in March.
