This is a collection of photos and videos taken by volunteers in the weeks leading up to Christmas.  As one can see, the devastation is everywhere from the flood plain in the river valley to landslides, up  to the mountain tops, and trees being down virtually everywhere.  Some of these piles of debris were homes built high above the flood plain in one of the most climate stable regions on the planet.

Take your time and zoom in on the photos as the quality of a phone camera doesn't always give us a solid representation of the scale of the damage when viewed on a web page.
