Something similar of a news

The mudslides were set off on Christmas Day after a downpour fell on hillsides that had been stripped of vegetation by wildfires in October and November. With nothing to hold the soil in place, trees and rocks went roaring down the hillsides, along with the dark-brown mud. .

The California mudslide triggered by heavy downpour of rain reminds me of similar kind of news here with the Leyte mudslide tragedy about a week ago

Yeah, news feels like dejavu all over..only the one that happened here in the country is more severe, I guess.
