Leaving Everything Behind
There was a horrible disaster that happened this year, it was the 88 flood. It was a horrible flood that happened in the southern part of Taiwan. At first, it was just a bad flood, but after weeks the flood became a horrifying landslide. People, cars, houses got buried under all the mud and soil that had slide down to the town. Mud rushed into houses, and destroying everything in it's path. The mud slide covered the whole town, it reached the second floor of most houses. The villagers are lost all their belongings and even their own home. They are forced to move out of the town to live somewhere else where the government have gave them. Power shovels and bulldozers are clearing out the mud that has ruined the town, some villagers were standing next to the power shovels and bulldozers to see if they dug something that belongs to them. This made me think of another disaster that had happened in Taiwan about a year ago, it was a typhoon that strike the southern part of Taiwan. The typhoon was so powerful that it destroyed the whole town, just like the town that had been destroyed by the flood. The place where the town use to be, it's a flat plain now. Everything is gone, houses, car, and a lot of villagers died from the typhoon. Most of them got burred under rocks and mud. These were the two main disasters that had happened in Taiwan.
