Mudslides in Washington

A massive mudslide happen in the city of Darrington, Washington. The slide cut off the city of Darrington and dammed up the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, causing the water to pool behind the dam.
First responders in Snohomish County called it the worst slide, the worst natural disaster, they've seen in decades. First responders have ruled that so far the death count is three people, many are in critical condition and few are left to be found. With several houses destroyed, damage can not yet be fully investigated. Officials have warned residents to stay evacuated in case there is another slide that lets loose. They are keeping their eyes on areas that look suspicious. Many remain in critical condition while the scenario is still being investigated.
