Australians living in Indonesia have described their experience of weather that has killed at least 20 people.
The heavy rain started Monday, caused flooding and landslides in Bali and in East Nusa Tenggara.
Emergency crews are still searching for victims.
Rick Creamer lives right near a river that flooded in Bali, and has seen some of the damage in his neighbourhood.
"There is a bridge. Usually the bridge height from the top of the water is about two or three metres. The footage that I took with my drone and then also walking around, you can see it is right at the bottom of that bridge, so it has risen that far. And then when it burst its banks it did just go and - it devastated the whole area. It was about waist deep in some spots.

New research by the University of South Australia found lots of rain as well as lengthy drought can cause structural damage, such as foundations cracking and pipes bursting.
Study co-author Professor Simon Beecham says better planning is needed.
"What's happening is the soil wetness, the soil moisture is changing, because of these extended dry or wet periods due to climate change. And therefore, our design no longer fit for purpose, and we need to start considering what happens when we do have two very very wet years followed by three very dry years."
