Approaching Chinese New Year of 2018, dated February 16 has been welcome by continuous rainfall that has caused landslide in several areas. The landslide under the railway in an area in Bogor took death toll. Some people living below the slop are said to be buried with mudslide. The project sites were also affected. Some works were destroyed. Series of incidents always occur at the end and beginning of the year.

There hasn't been any rain here in Miami perhaps there should be because it's so hot.

Is this in your place? Continuous raining is really dangerous as it softens the ground and causes landslides. It's happening here in our places those living in mountainous areas are really in danger

I hope so my friend. A few roads are blocked for fear of another mudslide.

We rarely have mudslides here. They must be horrendous.
