CNY 2009

It has not been a good CNY for the state and my city.

Has been flooding in a lot of area. And in my city itself there has been 2 landslides. One on the 16 of January...destroyed a petrol station and lost of 2 lives (happened around 1 am).

Second landslide on the 30.1.2009...happened during day time...lucky no lost of lives. About 5-8 houses got hit. Thank God few years ago, the government asked people to move to another location. If not there would have been more houses gotten hit.

Two nights ago, one guy played the fireworks...it was raining a bit. He lit the fire work thingy...initially it did not go off..so he went to have a look..when he looked..the firework went off...poor guy...died on the spot.

Last year the rain average was 400mm per month. January 2009 already saw the rainfall hit 890mm. As i am posting this..it is raining out there. One of the road leading to another city (just 28 km out of my city) have collapsed too. And a few more in dangerous level.

Hope this will end soon ....May God look after those who are going through this.
