Pangandaran News, (harapanrakyat.com), – Whirlwind in the area Pangandaran Regency, West Java, causing two trees to fall onto the road. Access to vehicle traffic has become disrupted.

Heavy rain and strong winds that felled two large trees occurred in Pangasinan Hamlet, RT. 21, RW. 06, Pasirgeulis Village, Padaherang District, Pangandaran Regency, Friday (09/04/2021).

Arifin Jaelani, an officer from Tagana, Padaherang District, said that the two trees that had fallen due to a tornado were coconut and Albasia trees.

“Apart from uprooting two trees, heavy rain and a whirlwind in Padaherang also knocked down an electric pole belonging to PLN,” said Arifin.

However, he continued, for the collapsed electric poles, none of the residents around the scene of the incident dared to evacuate the electricity poles. Because they are worried that there will be electricity and it is very risky, residents prefer to report it to the PLN.

“As a result of a collapsed electric pole, automatically part of the residents’ houses that are in one lane will temporarily turn off the electricity. Residents are still waiting for officers from PLN to correct it, “said Arifin.

Meanwhile, for a fallen tree blocking the road body, the residents and the Padaherang Subdistrict’s Tagana team worked together to evacuate with makeshift tools.

“There were no casualties in this incident, but there were some roof tiles damaged by fallen trees,” he said. (Ntang/R3/HR-Online)
