Washington Mudslide Tragedy
by Larry Lugosi
A fatal mudslide in Washington has lead to at least 8 dead and at least a dozen people missing
Snohomish County sheriff's Lt. Rob Palmer said four more bodies were discovered late Sunday to bring the
total number of fatalities to eight. Earlier in the day, authorities said one body had been found on the debris
field. Three people were already confirmed dead on Saturday.
"We didn't see or hear any signs of life out there today," Fire Chief Travis Hots said, adding that they did not
search the entire debris field, only drier areas safe to traverse. "It's very disappointing to all emergency
responders on scene."
Despite this, teams of rescuers are still searching the area for any possible survivors. Lets hope they do.
