SUMATRA.🐋
Sumatra is the sixth-largest island in the world, located in Indonesia, with an area of 473,481 km². The island's population is approximately 57,940,351.
Sumatra Island consists of 10 provinces including Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, Riau Islands, Jambi, Bengkulu, South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung, and Lampung.
Whales are large, lung-breathing, warm-blooded aquatic mammals that give birth and nurse their young, not fish. The term "whale" generally refers to large marine mammals of the order Cetacea, including baleen whales (filter-feeders) and toothed whales (such as sperm whales and orcas), which evolved from land mammals and now inhabit the world's oceans, with the blue whale being the largest animal on Earth.
Heavy rain accompanied by extreme weather.
Heavy rain accompanied by extreme weather began to fall in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra since November 25, 2025. According to BMKG monitoring, the causes of the extreme weather include the development of a tropical cyclone system and cyclone seeds around the Malacca Strait and Sulu Sea, which triggered heavy rain and strong winds in several areas of Sumatra.
I will show some photos that happened in Aceh province. I took these photos from several TikTok accounts.

Look at the condition.
Sumatra, Indonesia, has been experiencing heavy rain for a week, with no end in sight. Flash floods and landslides are being caused by illegal logging, which has destroyed millions of hectares of tropical forests. To date, this disaster has not been declared a national disaster by the Indonesian president. Several provinces in Sumatra remain isolated, without aid for over a week, but some have received logistical assistance.
A closing sentence, Look at everything as if you were seeing it for the first or last time, and your time on earth will be full of glory.
