This is the kind of nightmare, you don’t want happening around your home and family.
A mile-long mud, trees and rocks landslide has killed three people, critically injured an infant (six-month-old) and several others, and destroyed six houses in rural Snohomish County just 55 miles north of Seattle on Saturday, March 22, 2014. Look at these apocalyptic pictures… It’s really a big mess!
This impressive landslide was at least 135 feet wide and 180 feet deep and hit just before 11 a.m.
The mud slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which prompted an evacuation notice because water was rising rapidly behind the debris.
The landslide also completely covered State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle.

What’s breathtaking is that it can happen everywhere at every time! Take care!
