Very Sorry!.

I hope that it does not happen again, but it is a flood zone there as well as an earthquake zone, very very dangerous.
But without the volcanoes there would be no island of Java, it was made by the volcanoes.
At least 20 centimeters is only about 8 inches, very very bad of course, but could had been worse.

There was also a mud flood close to your city.
----------

Java is a big Island, kind of.
It is on an earthquake zone also and there are many volcanoes there.
There was a very bad earthquake there about 2 to 3 years ago or so.

Surabaya Overview
Be advised that the time in Surabaya is GMT + 7 hours.

Situated at the mouth of the Kali Mas River, Surabaya was first settled in 1275. And is much older than its larger rival, Jakarta. Originally known as Ujung Galuh, in 1358 it was known as Churabaya and was ruled by a succession of kingdoms until Dutch rule in 1596.

Comprising a land area of some 326 square kilometers, Surabaya proper is divided into 31 districts. Surrounded by two industrial cities, Gresik to the north-west and Sidoarjo on the south side. Surabaya is the known as one of the fastest growing cities in Indonesia.

The Kali Mas River is the dividing line between east & west Surabaya. See map.

With its location at the mouth the Kali Mas River, Surabaya is basically in a flood plain. This, coupled with fact that several areas of the city are only 3-6 m above sea level, means that from time to time some areas of Surabaya are flood during the wet monsoon ( but not nearly as severely as Jakarta).

well about the JP i must wait a little longer for Expert Lotto 5 for one or two month or maybe more because stan had redesigned EL that support PICK 3/4 and might be for all states 61 draws so tracking particular states would be little bit easier since it have one draws database using this just to make "sure" which str8 8 tickets will be hit using max skips.

Ragwi
I got the info from Internet search engines.

As to Expert Lotto, I do hope that Stan does add pick 3 and 4 support to it soon and that you have much good luck with it.

There flooding can come from3 sources:
Rain, the river and the sea.
Earthquakes can come from 2 sources:
Earth faults (Tectonic plates movements) and eruptions from volcanoes and there are so very many of them there.
Your city and or Java are on top of an earth fault, that is an earthquake line or zone.

Again, be careful and good luck to you.
