Many wardrobes and furniture soaked in water were damaged, forcing people to throw them away, and garbage was piled up right at the beginning of the street. "My family's wardrobes were soaked in water for too long and were damaged, so we had to throw them away. Now, we keep whatever is usable and try to clean up the house," Mr. Chien shared.
