There were a lot of problems with landslides back in the day - especially with typhoons and tropical storms - and particularly because most of the roads there are one lane each way. I remember one year after it hadn't stopped raining for about 3 days being on teh way to school on the school bus. We got about half way and had to stop because what seemed like half the bloody mountain had slipped down and covered the entire road - both ways - which incidentally was the onyl road into out or of where we were going, unless you wanted to drive round the Island the other way.
Anyway, to cut a long story short because I am babbling, everybody got off the bus and started clearing out the mud, in the rain.
That was back in the ate 80's/early 90's though. Since then they have concrete blasted ad built retaining walls on most of the hillsides that back onto the roads. Ugly...but it stops shit like that happening so it's ok in my book.
