Storm blasts Blora regency

SEMARANG: Strong winds and torrential rain hit Blora regency
late on Monday, destroying at least 35 houses and damaging 120
others.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the freakish
weather.

"The strong wind and rain hit seven districts here, namely
Kradenan, Ngawen, Banjarejo, Kenduran, Randublatung, Ngawen and
Todanan," Blora regency office spokesman Suwignyo said on
Tuesday.

Dozens of schools were also damaged in the storm, leaving
hundreds of students stranded as schools were temporarily closed.

"We will use the remaining buildings to pool the students so
classes can continue. We badly need help here," Suwignyo added.
