"Severe flooding paralysed parts of Bali, particularly the Legian and Kuta areas of Badung Regency, following relentless heavy rainfall that battered the area on Tuesday night. Footage shows torrential rain inundating streets, with rescue workers using inflatable boats to evacuate residents from submerged neighbourhoods. People can be seen wading through knee-deep, murky water as officials monitor operations and traffic crawls through flooded roads. "The rain started in the afternoon and became heavier around 10 p.m. and has continued until now," said resident Andi Kumara, adding that floodwaters submerged several neighbourhoods and rose to about 20 centimetres on the main road. Vice Regent of Badung, Bagus Alit Sucipta, said authorities had already mobilised emergency teams. "The steps we have taken as the Badung Regency Government are to immediately deploy the relevant agencies." "We are waiting for the water to recede slightly so we can directly inspect the site. We are monitoring and observing the situation closely to identify the root of the problem, so we can respond more quickly in the future," he added. Riana, a tourist from Spain, shared, "Even though we were not expecting these conditions, we are trying to enjoy and living the wild life." According to reports, several foreign tourists in villas near Dewi Sri were evacuated by property managers after being trapped overnight, and emergency responders assisted with evacuations and monitored affected areas. The Badung Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR) deployed portable pumps and a main pump at Tukad Mati on Tuesday to expedite water removal. The Badung Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) sent personnel to monitor flood-prone areas and coordinate mitigation efforts, maximising pump operations to redirect excess water into the river system and minimise pooling in residential and commercial zones."
