The intense rainfall caused Cipamokolan, Cileuweung, Cicabe and Cidurian rivers to be overflow. Flash flood was then occurred due to the collapsed of an embankment near Jatihandap and Cicaheum area. As a result, 50 to 150 cm of water were quickly inundated several areas of Cicaheum, Antapani, Arcamanik and Gedebage districts.
