    Such an awful, awful way to die, let alone lose people you love...close to 200 it seems, counting those still missing.

    Even having seen the aerial views, I still can't fully get my head around it.

    Here's a link with some footage of a mudslide in BC:

    Main cause seems to be all the rain but logging is probably a factor as well.

    I have a good deal of family up that way in WA but they are all safe. I really feel badly for those who lost love ones up there.

    It occurs to me that I live in a house that was built on a site that was carved out of a hillside. I shouldn't think about these things before bed time.

    Of course, as fate would have it, it occurred on a Saturday morning when everyone was at home.
