There is a street in Samarinda called AR Hakim which is located near to my house. The street however originally was on the same level with water, therefore during heavy rain it was always (with 100% certainty) flooded with water from a river near by.

Happy ending ?? No. The inhabitants near by closed the street as a protest to the local government !!
