"The wireless service is out of service. Cops came to warn us not to send out any info about the flood. Doctors are gone and none in hospital. Mr Niu said more than 100 deaths in his community.

Jedenfalls mein Beileid an die Betroffenen, das sind gar keine schöne Bilder. Und fleissig weiter Videos mit der Welt teilen.
