Flash flooding and landslides on Indonesia’s main island of Java have killed at least 21 people and damaged villages and rice fields.

This is the dramatic moment a flash flood surged into a home during heavy rain in Indonesia on Monday. CCTV captured the rising water level as muddy torrents filled the property in the Pekalongan Regency of Central Java on January 20.

The heavy rains caused rivers to overflow on the main island of Java, flooding nine villages and sending mud, rocks, and debris cascading down the mountainsides.

Floods have wreaked havoc across several regions in Indonesia, forcing residents to evacuate and disrupting transportation.

Residents and activists in Labuan Bajo, a popular tourist town in Indonesia's Catholic-majority Flores Island, have blamed a government project for fueling unprecedented flash flooding. Residents said the flooding triggered by heavy rain for three hours submerged hundreds of homes on Jan. 20.
