Rescue crews are searching for survivors after a huge mudslide came down on homes in Snohomish County in northwest Washington, killing at least three. Police could hear cries for help from people trapped under debris.
Three people were killed and at least six houses were destroyed. At least eight people, including a six-month-old baby boy, were taken to a local hospital. The infant is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
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.
