Mudslide.... Who knew what??

At least 25 people are known to have died when a rain-soaked hillside collapsed without warning, unleashing a wall of mud that engulfed dozens of homes in a river valley near the rural town of Oso, Seattle. Many are still missing five days after the mudslide. 

Numerous reports dating back to the 1950s have warned that the hillside, that collapsed,  is subject to failure. Indeed, the very same portion of hillside outside Oso, has slid into the Stillaguamish River numerous times since the 1950s.

Daniel Miller, a geomorph­ologist, has studied the area and reported to the US Army Corps of Engineers. He warned of “large catastrophic failure.”

The resident weren't aware of the danger they are living in of this particular location.

Many dangers are around us, known to some but the public is unaware of. Hope that the outcomes are not as grim as the mudslide. God Help us all.

Just a thought.
