A number of Minsheng villagers had moved the car to the other bank of the river early that morning to make sure that I'd have a way out if rising waters made the makeshift bridge across the riverbed impassable. (These days, when that bridge is closed, residents cross the suspension bridge on their motorcycles or in narrow-bodied trucks to get to the larger vehicles they keep on the other side.)
記者離開那瑪夏的當天天色昏暗，下起不小的雨，一早許多民生村民已警覺地將轎車移往河岸另一端，以免大水淹沒河床上的便橋而無法駕車外出，（一旦便橋不通，目前村民都是以摩托車或車身較窄的小貨車駛過吊橋去對岸開車）。
