I Indonesiens West Sumatra har katastrofale oversvømmelser hærget landet og resulteret i 43 dødsfald og 15 savnede personer. Uvejret, der blev udløst lørdag aften, førte til voldsomme oversvømmelser, jordskred og kold lavastrøm, som er en mudder lignende blanding af vulkansk aske, stenrester og vand. Den Meteorologi, Klimatologi og Geofysik Agentur (BMKG) har rapporteret, at det kraftige regnfald i provinsen skyldes unormalt varme havoverfladetemperaturer. Ulykken opstod efter monsunregn og en betydelig mudderskred, udløst af en kold lavastrøm fra Mount Marapi, forårsagede oversvømmelser, der førte til flere dødsfald. Den tragiske begivenhed, udløst af skybrud lørdag aften, førte til flash floods, jordskred og en strøm af kold lava – en blanding af vulkansk aske, sten og mudder.
