'No warning' - residents reel from deadly flood after typhoon bursts Taiwan lake

A deadly flood struck Taiwan after Typhoon Doksuri caused a lake to burst its banks, catching residents off guard. The sudden surge of water, described as a "wall," caught people in its path with no warning, leading to multiple fatalities and extensive damage. Survivors expressed shock and disbelief at the unexpected and devastating event. Rescue efforts were swift, but the sudden nature of the flood made it difficult to respond in time. The incident has highlighted the need for improved disaster preparedness and early warning systems to protect vulnerable communities from such unpredictable natural disasters. Authorities are investigating the cause of the lake's breach and reviewing emergency protocols to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
