I'm so sorry to hear this Maida. The more I hear the more horrible it
sounds. I wish I had some words of comfort, but words feel so
inadequate. It's so hard to watch a place you love be torn apart by
nature. My heart goes out to you and yours.

Some of you, even outside the country, may have heard of the "Oso Mudslide" on State Road 530 Saturday morning, in Washington State. Oso is not actually a town, just a wide spot in the road. The slide happened between Arlington, where I graduated from high school, and Darrington, where I grew up and my family lives. It was between mile marker 37 and 38. I lived at MP39 for years in my 20s. There is over a square mile under mud and debris, some places 20 or maybe even 50 feet deep.
It's been covered in the main BBC news programmes since the first reports came in. Lots of sympathy from this side of the pond. We've been having floods for the last few months but thankfully few casualties.

Maida,
It's made the news here in Britain. We've been following it as well. I saw a report this morning with the county sherriff saying that eight more bodies had been discovered but not recovered yet. :(
There aren't words for this devastation. {hugs} and love to you and yours.

Re: OT: My hometown is dying
I've been away for a few days (presenting at a poster session at the Northeast meeting of the Geological Society of America), but when I've had the chance, I've been following the story. One of my career interests is in natural hazards--specifically mass wasting (which includes landslides). I've been in a room full of geologists in various stages of intoxication, laughing, recounting stories, and ignoring the TV in the background. But when anything about this came on the news, the room would go quiet and all eyes would fixate on the story.
Seeing photographs and video of the area is sobering. I've seen examples of this in miniature, I've studied it in the abstract with tidy diagrams, and I've read about massive examples that have happened in the distant past. But this is in human time, on a human scale, and with human faces of the grieving and the missing. There is nothing abstract about this. There are no tidy diagrams that can show the gravity of the event. I could talk for hours about permeability of soils, cohesiveness of clay, water saturation, and angle of repose. But for this, I have no words.
Now that I've finally had a chance to read your email. I can add one more human face to the grieving. Unlike the others, this one is known to me; it is the face of a friend. You have my deepest sympathy.

Oso is not actually a town, just a wide spot in the road. The slide happened between Arlington, where I graduated from high school, and Darrington, where I grew up and my family lives. It was between mile marker 37 and 38. I lived at MP39 for years in my 20s. There is over a square mile under mud and debris, some places 20 or maybe even 50 feet deep.Follow some of the links there. The pictures are devastating. I can't imagine the reality.There is currently a state geologist speaking on the situation and some other analysis. I can post that later for the geological geeks, like Rick.For those geographically inclined, here is a map of the slide:The former town librarian, a well-loved and known figure and mother of a classmate, has already been announced to be among the deceased. She was the only person that I knew for certain before Saturday would be in the area.When I went to bed last night, the death toll was 8 dead and 18-23 missing. Today, the county has finally compiled lists of those reported missing. They have *108* reports of individuals that are unaccounted for. Some of those are very vague and the number will drop, likely drastically, as those unaccounted check in, but it's a very scary situation.Various members of my family are on the frontline, as well as helping out at the fire department and the community center in Darrington.As I posted on Facebook before this morning's announcement:Those of you who pray, please pray for the families of those missing from Arlington and Darrington in the SR530 mudslide.

A childhood friend's father is missing and it is known that he was on Steelhead Drive, the main area affected. My friend Joe's daughter is missing, along with her fiance and maternal grandparents. Their house was in the direct path of the worst part of the slide.My heart's breaking.--Maida 'Mac/Lys' Combs
