I just love these photographs. I think it really shows so much emotion and you and actually feel as if you are there, and the pain that these residents are feeling of total destruction. It is just amazing and puts me in a state of aww when I see devestation like this caused by mother nature.
The fresh water we take for granted is proven destroyed here. If we could all just live together as one brings we could get these people here to thrive not die.
Those pictures are not as bad as we saw on TV news here.....There are still about 398 ppl missing in Hsiaolin Village, Kaohsiung County........
I believe that this coming year will bring many more of these disturbing picture as Momma Nature plays out her destiny.
Its always amazing at how much damage one of these storms can do. The picture of the torn up road is particularly disturbing – hope no one was on that road when it went. The people walking through flooded streets – somehow these pictures seem to be getting more common these days.
