Bali wades through major flooding as buildings collapse and flights cancelled

Heavy rainfall has caused widespread flooding in Bali , resulting in buildings collapsing, cars trapped in floodwaters and cancelled flights.

Severe weather on Tuesday brought heavy rainfall throughout the night, and houses reportedly begin to flood early on Wednesday morning.

Videos on social media show a building collapsing into fast-flowing floodwaters in Denpasar as onlookers watched in horror.

“Flooded, flooded, flooded, everywhere,” one person wrote on social media.

“River broke its banks. Chaos at the moment,” said another.

Local media said several cars overturned in the water and remain stuck in the middle of roads.

The flooding has also paralysed residents’ and tourists’ movements throughout the region due to road closures, creating traffic jams on multiple roads.
