Heavy rain and strong wind on Tuesday (4/22) afternoon had uprooted a 10-meter-high angsana tree on Jalan Raya Kota Bambu Selatan towards Jalan S Parman, West Jakarta, at around 4 PM. The tree also caused two electricity poles and one telephone line pole collapsed.

There was no casualty reported. However, blackout happened in 40 houses near the scene and the road access had been blocked because of the collapsed tree and poles.
“Since its size is big, the tree must be cut using machine. We’re waiting it to be done by Jakarta Park and Cemetery Department,” stated an officer of Kota Bambu Selatan Urban Village Facility and Infrastructure Section, Sugiono, Tuesday (4/22).
