Village Jemblung Sampang, Banjarnegara, Central Java, occur. A small hamlet on
the slopes this Dieng was suddenly popular, crowded.
How not, more than half the population was killed

Appears thousands of catfish
According to several witnesses, deadly landslides is

One of the most obvious sign is the initial landslide, a
day before a massive landslide on Friday. However, because only hoard roads and
not stray into the settlement, no refuge. In fact, they even watch the
landslide material cleanup by TNI officers and Highways Department of Public
Works of the Regional Government of Central Java.
The next sign is the appearance of thousands of catfish
in the river that divides the village Jemblung. Recognition witnesses, late in
the afternoon on Friday the disaster, there are people who managed to capture
catfish in large quantities in the streams that irrigate the fields of
citizens.
"That fish galore. Not quite the bucket. And usually
when fishing, it is difficult not to play. Yet somehow, in all afternoon, a lot
of catfish in the river," said village head Kalibening, Khodim, who
claimed to get information the Hamlet of citizens Jemblung survivors.
Residents estimate, the emergence of these catfish likely
run-off from the ground. Therefore, far away above the hamlet Jemblung, namely
on the hill which is now in the spotlight Rapid Assessment Team Land Movement,
there is a pool of 30 meters in diameter with a depth of 1 meter. This pool was
already old. Residents call it the lake catfish.
"The lake has been used since. Named Catfish Ponds,
because once there are many catfish. Residents estimate the emergence of
hundreds of catfish is due to join the flow of water from the lake is down to
below the hamlet," said Khodim.
water reservoirs
The phenomenon of the emergence of these catfish, is not
many people know about it. Because, at noon in the afternoon, people mostly
watch cleaning path buried by landslides at the end of the village.
Because it is only a handful of people who know. That,
too, because they are accidental capture in fishing and river flow Jemblung
Hamlet. "Just imagine those words can catfish, from 12:00 to 17:00
o'clock, lelenya endless. But this is just stripped after a disaster, why
catfish appear suddenly in large quantities in the village," said Khodim.
Therefore, there is some speculation. One of the most
plausible, said Khodim, the presence of water which becomes the connecting
corridor between Hamlet Jemblung with Catfish Ponds are located on the hill
which is now partly the material already covered village.
It was quite reasonable. Based saga name, Jemblung
defined as a reservoir of water or large water container made of clay.
Therefore, naturally is lembahan who is now a resident of the settlement, many
found the flow of water on the hillside which then spilled down the hamlet.
"It could be a lot of water flow, the out-catfish
catfish that is on top of the hill. Or it may be as well, water-water that
makes the land fragile village so easy. So when the rain comes, landslides
threaten definitely," said Khodim.
Now, in spite of it all. Disaster death Jemblung Hamlet,
should be a lesson to all. That the real disaster can come anytime and to
anyone. Both Khodim and Purwanto hope, there is a serious step from the local
government to reduce the possibility of a similar disaster.
"We are ready principle any decision to be taken by the
government of the existence of our village. We just want to live a quiet and
still be able to meet our daily needs of the fields that exist in our
village," said Purwanto.
