washington-mudslideEighteen people are missing and three are confirmed dead after a wall of mud and debris wiped out neighborhoods and a highway in Washington, about 55 miles north of Seattle.

The number of missing is expected to fluctuate, law enforcement officials said, because it’s still too dangerous to send emergency crews into the mud, which was 60 feet deep in some places.
