00:55If there is anything left to call home,

00:58Parnandi, a resident of Padang, managed to save his life

01:03even as floods and the resulting landslides swept him away,

01:08along with his house and his entire village.

01:12Now, as he returns to what once was his locality,

01:16all he finds is complete destruction.

01:19He still recalls how he was carried away by the raging waters

01:24trapped under a collapsing house, yet somehow miraculously survived.

01:30When we were there, we were running out of the water.

01:35We were running out of the water.

01:36We were running out of the water.

01:37All the people came to the water.

01:39That's the point that came from the water.

01:41Then I was ruling out and shut it down to the bottom, with the discharge I tried to handle it, in the air

02:02I was holding it, I was holding it, and I was holding it.

02:08I was holding it, and I was holding it.

02:11I was holding it, and I was holding it.

02:16I was holding it for 3 hours.

02:21Rosmina, from Tapunuli in Naught, Sumatra,

02:24is now forced to wade through knee-deep mud

02:28just to reach her home and assess the damage the floods have left behind.

02:33She remembers vividly the terror of that first violent rush of flood water

02:39and how residents scrambled desperately to save their lives.

02:44Rosmina hopes the government will step in

02:47and help them stand back on their feet after the havoc unleashed.

02:53Tiba-tiba ada orang lari dari kebun sana.

02:55Lari, ayo lari, lari, lari, lari.

02:57Udah datang itu air besar, katanya gitu.

02:59Jadi saya langsung lari kan.

03:01Lari, nyelamatkan anakku.

03:03Keluar dari rumah ini, nyelamatkan anakku.

03:06Anakku udah segini, udah selutup mereka air dari rumah ini.

03:09Ya harapannya ke depan mudah-mudahan pemerintahan ya lebih cepatlah

03:13membantu kami.

03:16Terutamanya kan untuk anak sekolah, kasihan nanti terlalu lama.

03:20Nggak sekolah gitu.

03:22Kalau rumah, ya udah nggak ada lagi.

03:31sweeping away people, belongings, entire lives.

03:36Atika, a young female survivor, ruse the loss of her savings

03:41and the important documents washed away in the chaos.

03:44She remains haunted both by the disaster

03:48and by the stagnant water that refuses to fully recede.

03:53Banyak juga lah uang, ya karena uang hilang dompet.

03:57Ada juga berkes-berkes penting juga ada yang hilang.

04:00Udah itu, apa lah, banyak juga lah yang hilang.

04:05Kayak kereta juga udah rusak, motor juga, mobil juga udah terendam.

04:10Dampaknya bang, itulah tadi rumah tenggelam.

04:13Kita sudah lima hari, lima malam ini.

04:16Entah, nggak tau lagi lah kita kan.

04:19Sebagian kampung dah tenggelam.

04:22Duit pun nggak laku.

04:25Serius. Udah lima hari, lima malam, cuaca terang di kampung kami semakin naik.

04:30The rains have moved on and most of the floodwaters have drained away.

04:36But the disaster has left behind a trail of devastation and deep trauma for those who survived.
