Red Tide Indeed: Red Flood Hits Indonesia

Red flooding in Indonesia recently. Nothing like "The Shining"
Water got into batik factories so dye colored the water

Remember that scene from The Shining? The one where the tidal wave of blood burst out of the elevator and cascaded down the hallway?  

Something like that happened recently in Indonesia, but don't worry, nothing quite as terrifying as The Shining happened. 

The flood that inundated streets in Jenggot, Indonesia started from the usual cause: It rained too much. Floods are common in Indonesia. 

The area around Jenggot is a famed producer of traditional wax and dye batik textiles.  The flood got into some batik maker's building, turning the water red. On the bright side the flood has the consistency of regular water, not the thick blood in The Shining. The water was just red.  

Even better, the dye is not dangerous, so people exposed to the flooding were not poisoned. Area officials deployed pumps to get rid of the flood waters, and life continued on as normal afterward.
