The live news stream is riveting, even without understanding what they are saying. They are concentrating at what looks like might be a college or something like that on a flat mesa. One of the two story buildings seems to have collapsed on itself (like Northridge) as the rescuers are accessing it with short ladders to what was maybe a second floor balcony.
The surrounding scenery is spectacular with roads cut by landslides and one major slide that has obliterated roads and houses.
Another link with English translation. The location mentioned above has college students and the second floor collapsed into the first with six still trapped.
