flood in my hometown

On Monday October 24,2016, some part of my hometown, Bandung, was flooded. The big flood happened to be close to my house. It was 12 at that time when heavy rain were pouring down. After the bell rang, I packed all my things and ready to go to my course. On Mondays we, DCP students,  go home at 2pm. My course starts at 3. My course place was not far from school. But, the flood made traffic jam. I didn't got to see the flood near my house because I was till studying when it happened.

Well, thanks to the flood, I came late to my course. I was happy though. But me being late to come to my course is not something that is unusual. i always late to come there. It took 1 hour for me to reach there from school. Can you imagine how bad the jam was? Most of my friends didn't come to the course because of the flood and traffic jam. Sorry, not most of them but ALL of them.

Now, back to the flood. As far as I know, the areas in Bandung which were flooded that day is Pasteur (in front of a mall called BTC), Setiabudi, and Pagarsih. There were several more streets that were flooded but some of them are not as bad as the ones I mentioned. I didn't know how bad or deep the flood in Setiabudi was, but there was an accident resulting 1 person dead.

My elementary teacher who own a shop on that BTC mall was posting pictures of the flood. The flood there (in BTC mall near my house) looked like a waterpark. By approximately 4 pm, the front of BTC Mall had no longer been flooded. I wonder where the water goes becase is it possible to make all the water be gone by 2 hours?  Well, yeah i don't know. It was 4.30 pm when my course was dismissed. Before I went home, I need to wait for my parents. The road was still jammed at that time. I reached my home at 6 pm that day.
