Cirebon, W Java (ANTARA News) - A flood triggered by four hours of heavy rains paralyzed traffic in West Java`s northern coastal city of Cirebon on Thursday.

A Search and Rescue team used a rubber boat to carry motorcyclists trapped in flood at Jl Cipto where the water level reached 1 meter.

The water level was so high that it caused the traffic to paralyze, spokesman of the SAR team Suyatno said.

Local resident Suparman said hundreds of motorcycles and cars were trapped in 1.5 meter deep flood water at Jl. Tentara Pelajar here. (*)
