Massive Flooding Kills at Least 100, Submerges Thousands of Homes in Indonesia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least 100 people have died after torrential rains triggered massive
floods and landslides in Indonesia and East Timor Sunday. Most of the
victims were in Indonesia. Thousands of homes were submerged.
Indonesia's disaster agency says some 125 million people, or half the
country, live in areas at risk of landslides, which is largely
exacerbated by deforestation.
