Landslides destroy houses after Indonesia cyclone

Tropical cyclone Seroja brought strong winds and heavy rains that triggered flash floods and landslides on the island, home to the Mount Ile Lewotolok volcano.

Amateur video obtained by Reuters showed a landslide path leading to the ocean, felled trees and large rocks of cold lava that had crushed homes after being dislodged by the cyclone.

The search for survivors continues, with at least 72 people reported missing so far in the East Nusa Tenggara islands.
