Flash floods in Indonesia's North Sulawesi kill 16, three missing

In Indonesia, very heavy rain caused big floods on an island called Siau.

These floods swept away 16 people and hurt 25 others.

Three people are still missing, and rescuers are looking for them.

Many houses and buildings were destroyed, and people had to leave their homes and stay in churches and public buildings.

The roads are blocked with mud and rocks, so workers are using big machines to clean them.

The government has declared an emergency to help the people and fix the damage.

This happened because it's the rainy season, and the weather agency said more floods might happen in other parts of Indonesia too.
