A flash flood has hit Pidie regency of Indonesia\'s Aceh province but left no casualty, a local official said on Sunday. The flash flood hit Tangse sub-district following a heavy rain at 18:30 local time (1130 GMT) on Saturday. Apriadi, head of Aceh Disaster Management Agency (BPBA) of Pidie regency, told Xinhua by phone that a person who had been reportedly missing on Saturday was found safe on Sunday. \"Following the same accident on March 10, 2011, people are more aware.
