Major Aussie tourist destination battered by torrential rain, flash flooding
Share this @internewscast.com
Residents have been evacuated and holidaymakers are on edge after a torrential downpour triggered flash flooding in some of Bali’s largest tourist areas.

In Bali, the regions of Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak on the island’s southwest coast have been grappling with relentless rainfall since Saturday night, as reported by local media outlets.

Reports from the community-driven Disaster Map Bali indicate that floodwaters measuring between 30 to 70 centimeters have inundated parts of southwestern Bali, as well as the coastal town of Sanur located in the southeast.

Authorities have issued a weather alert for Kuta and Denpasar, cautioning residents about severe conditions that could lead to flash floods, landslides, and fallen trees.

Dramatic footage circulating on social media reveals streets in Kuta submerged in knee-deep water, with emergency dinghies being used to evacuate Legian residents to safety.

In another striking video, a sizeable snake, seemingly several meters long, can be seen navigating through the floodwaters.

Rick, a resident of Legian, informed 9News that a river overflowed its banks early in the morning, causing water to rush through the main streets.

“The last three days the rain has been coming down constantly. The last 24 hours it did start to increase in intensity,” Rick said.

“Some of the locals I’ve been talking to say this is the worst flooding they’ve seen in 15 years

“The waters are up to waist deep and I’ve seen people being boated out.”

Indonesia is in its monsoon season, which typically runs from November to April.

Rick, who runs social media page HeyRickBali, left the area during last year’s floods.

He plans to stick around this time, to update tourists who may be planning to visit the holiday hotspot in the next week.

“The main tourist areas where people visit, where the hotels are, some have flooded, but a lot are OK,” he said.

In Denpasar, a large tree crashed to the ground in an outdoor dining area at restaurant Shotgun Social, causing damage to parts of the building and the outdoor area.

“Because of the recent weather, one of our large trees fell before we opened that day,” the business wrote in a post to Instagram.

“We are incredibly thankful it happened before opening hours and that no one was hurt.”

The restaurant has reopened.

There are no travel warnings in place for Australians for Bali, according to the Smart Traveller website.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has been contacted for comment.
