Washington mudslide: 14 confirmed dead and over a hundred missing

UPDATE HERE: http://bit.ly/1rzxnrj Subscribe to ITN News: http://bit.ly/1bmWO8h Authorities in Washington state have confirmed that at least 14 people have been killed and more than a hundred have been reported missing after a massive mudslide in Oso. The cascading mud, possibly produced by recent heavy rain, slid across part of State Route 530 on Saturday morning. More than 100 properties in all were hit by the slide, 49 of which had a house, cabin or mobile home on them. At least 25 of those homes were believed to have been occupied year round, and 10 others were part-time or holiday homes. As crews continue to comb the rubble of Saturday's mudslide in Washington State, researchers are already looking into what specifically happened to cause the disaster. The slide in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains piled mud, boulders and rubble up to 5 metres in some places. It blocked the flow of the river, backing up water behind a natural dam left in the stream's channel that caused flooding of seven homes upstream of the slide. There are now worries that the volume and pressure of water behind the dam could build and lead to further flooding and mud flows. Rescuers are continuing to look for bodies but authorities say they are hoping that many of those reported missing would turn out to be survivors who were either double-counted or slow in alerting loved ones and local officials as to their whereabouts.
