BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 23, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 23, 2014 This is a massive landslide of epic porportions. Several people are dead, nearly 2 dozen are missing. It's also dammed up the river, and they're expecting a breach with flash flooding downstream. it could be devastating. Quote
Brian Needham Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 oh my word Glenn!!!!!! it that anywhere close to you? Yall be safe! I havent watched the news in a while, too busy and trying to fish on weekends. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 23, 2014 Super User Posted March 23, 2014 Good Lord. Looks like someone sliced that mountain in half. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 5:30 radio news in Richmond, Virginia said that 18 individuals are missing and there are a number of confirmed deaths. This is not supposed to happen in America. How did the County allow homes to be built in harm's way???? Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 OH MY...glad your safe Glen. The great northwest is wet country! Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 24, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 24, 2014 The slide was 1 1/2 miles wide, 15-20' deep. 8 confirmed dead so far, 18 missing, including a 4-month-old baby. They're still searching. We've had the wettest March on record, and it's not over yet. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 Wow thats insane we just drove through there on Saturday. Hope they find the missing Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 25, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 25, 2014 New update, now they're saying 176 are "reported" missing. It's a very "squishy" number since there may be multiple instances of duplicate reports. These are not casualties, but number of reports of missing people. The number will change - hopefully downward. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 27, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 27, 2014 Just put this into perspective, the death toll is likely to be higher than the deaths caused by the massive E5 tornado that ripped through Moore OK last year. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 28, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 28, 2014 The 4-month-old's body was found today, not far from her grandmother's body, who was babysitting her. Current tally: 25 dead, 90 more missing, with another 35 who authorities are unsure were in the area when the hillside collapsed. Quote
