Here is a link to a video on CNN of the damage:

Here are some quotes from an article on the damage:
* Rescuers found seven bodies at a Buddhist temple buried by a massive mudslide in the northeastern township of Suao, police said.
"We have found seven dead bodies so far, and there might be two other people trapped," said a police spokesman by phone.
Megi, rated as the strongest typhoon to hit the northwest Pacific in two decades, dumped at least 1,200 millimetres of rain in northeastern Taiwan, causing landslides in Ilan County.
* But 21 people, including 19 Chinese tourists from the southern province of Guangdong, were missing along with a tour bus they boarded on the highway, the agency said.
* He said another coach, which also carried 21 people, including 19 Chinese tourists from Beijing, was hit by a large boulder at another section of the highway, but the tourists escaped by smashing the windows and crawling out.
The Taiwan's coach driver and a female Chinese tour guide, however, were unaccounted for after the crash, Jiang noted.
Here is a satellite photo from The Weather Channel website, taken just after 10 a.m. I've circled roughly where Shenzhen City is located so you can see how close it is to Shaling.
