Image of the Day: Mudslide on Whidbey Island
Posted by feww on April 4, 2009
A 10-foot surge of water from a breached dam built by beavers sends mudslide crashing through eight homes.
A worker passes under a washed-away home Friday in a waterfront neighborhood of Clinton, Whidbey Island, that was struck by flooding and mudslides after a dam breached early in the morning. In the foreground, water rushes down Glendale Road toward Puget Sound. Residents were warned around 2 a.m. Friday of the dam breach and told to evacuate, although it wasn’t mandatory.
