Landslide In Taiwan

On April 3 in Hualien, Taiwan, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake triggered a landslide on Qingshui Mountain, causing significant disruption to land travel between Hualien and Taipei, with both the Suhua Highway and railway severely damaged. A few seconds after the initial earthquake, dust cascaded down the mountain like a flood, engulfing even the tallest buildings in sight. This event reminded me of how vast nature is compared to how small we are.
