About ten houses were washed away, spokesman of the Pasaman district administration Budi Hermawan said on Thursday.
"Five to six of them were completely leveled to ground," he said.
Residents of Nagari Sampang have been evacuated to an elementary school building at Mudiak Simpang.
"Last night, we moved some of the evacuees from junior high school building at Simpati to the elementary school building to avoid overcrowding," he said.
Last night the Pasaman district administration set up a disaster mitigation post, put up a number of tents and distributed instant food among the flood victims, he said.
"And this morning we set up a public kitchen in the evacuee camp," he said.
No injuries or fatalities were reported due to the floods.
"Two or three residents who had earlier been reported missing had joined their relatives after moving to a hill," Budi said.
The floods also cut off a number of bridges, inundated about 50 hectares of rice fields and destroyed irrigation networks.
Budi said at least 30 areas are prone to landslides following the flash flood which occurred at around 6pm on Wednesday.
The Pasaman district head and his deputy had inspected the flood-hit areas on Wednesday night, he said.(*)
