soulJAHmon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) A town less than 50 minutes away from my place was wiped out by a giant mudslide caused by heavy rainfall. Death-toll is at about 16, and expected to climb to about 100, making it the worse natural diasater in Washington State history. http://www.king5.com/news/oso-landslide/Rain-could-dampen-Oso-slide-search-efforts-252930471.html https://www.google.com/search?q=google+earth+pictures+of+oso+mudslide&client=firefox-a&hs=HG0&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OOM1U6r9J-XwyAHcu4DADA&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1427&bih=733 I am praying for the victims and their families, and selfishly hoping that none of them were my own friends, which is a definite possibility. I know quite a few people who live near the slide. I can't begin to understand how it would feel to have a loved one mangled up inside their house or car inside a mess like that. The recovery is a nightmare, with the sky still crying down on the recovery workers. Edited March 28, 2014 by soulJAHmon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
