Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2014 8:36 pmThanks for the link Duc. I drove up and down that highway many times and still can't believe the magnitude of this slide. I really feel for the families who have lost loved ones in this catastrophe. Just a horrible deal all around

The slide quickly took four lives and there are still over a dozen souls missing.
I also feel bad for the Fire & Rescue brothers who have to work in that tangle of sand, mud, sticks, logs, rocks, power lines and mangled houses.
The Stilly will find a new path through the valley, hopefully its banks will solidify and again provide habitat for our salmon and steelhead.
For now, my thoughts and prayers are for all those families in the Oso community who's lives and homes have been taken.
