Taiwan Searches for Missing After Typhoon Ragasa Floods
A big storm named Typhoon Ragasa caused a lake to overflow and flood a town in Taiwan.
Rescue workers are now looking for people who are still missing.
The flood left a lot of thick mud everywhere, making it hard for people to get around.
Some elderly people had trouble following the advice to go upstairs to escape the flood.
The government is trying to figure out how to better help people during future storms.
The main problem is the mud from the lake.
Rescue workers are searching for 11 people missing after Typhoon Ragasa.
A barrier lake overflowed, releasing mud and water.
The town of Guangfu was hit by the flooding.
Many deaths occurred on the first floors of houses.
The government has ruled out using explosives to break through the bank holding up the water.
