Three killed in rain storm

GROBOGAN, Central Java: Three people were killed, 45 houses
destroyed and hundreds others badly damaged in a rain storm
sweeping three villages in this regency last week, officials
said.

The worst hit was the Teguhan village, where the fatalities
occurred, and 35 houses destroyed.

Those killed belonged to the same family. They were crushed
when their house collapsed on top of them.

The regency government has yet to estimate the total loss due
to the disaster and plans to send in relief aid. (har/pan)
