In some place the ground suddenly rose up and formed new hills. In other areas stream burst out in an instant, or the ground broke and new gullies appeared. The directions of the roads were even changed. Trees fell upside down and the mountains were rocked in the bottom part. In some places, 60-foot-deep crevices opened in the earth. ]]> 2018-09-17 02:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/364554/y135o996ls0g/wish/282085888 364554 https://padlet.com/364554/y135o996ls0g/wish/282087902 2018-09-17 02:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/364554/y135o996ls0g/wish/282087902
