Typhoon Morakot landed on Taiwan on August 8th, it is said that it is the worst disaster happened in 50 years, the rain lasted for 3 days killed about 500 people, in my opinion this disaster is about environment and people. Taiwan wouldn't flood if Taiwan if flat, but since it is full of mountains, the water fills the mountain rivers up and the rivers can't hold it so it all rush down, with all it's power it flood the cities and towns killing hundreds of people and breaking so many buildings. In this picture, reporters say the water wash away the soil and the building can't stand it any more and BOOM it crushes down the river.

Good blog post on this topic, Zhang. You've captured the disaster and actually dealt pretty well with out two learning goals. 1) how the environment itself contributes to disasters, and 2) how people living in the environment can impact the amount of damage is done. Keep up the good work, Zhang.
