The group said that although the damage in Taipei was severe, it was nothing like as bad as the landslides in Hsinyi. Down there the rocks were big enough to knock a house down, and when a large rock comes down it buries itself in its own hole, so it can't be shifted by hand.
鄉民們說，台北的損失很大，但比不上南投信義的土石流，那兒都是大石頭，足以摧毀民宅，石頭一沖下來，搬都搬不動，中寮的土石流也都還堆在原地，沒辦法動，對於災變、泥濘，他們早就習慣了。
