Hundreds of flood victims in Taiwan prepared for a second night in shelters on Wednesday as rescuers searched for survivors after a barrier lake burst in torrential rains from Super Typhoon Ragasa.
The lake in eastern Hualien county -- formed by series of landslides that created a natural dam wall -- gave way Tuesday and the resulting flood washed away a bridge and swept into the town of Guangfu, leaving a trail of thick sludge and mud.
