Mudslide Hits House in Hoquiam, WA
In Hoquiam, WA a landslide in one neighborhood washed out the foundations of at least four homes and threatened others. Joe Lester, who lives on Queets Avenue where most damage occurred, said police came before dawn to warn them with sirens. “They were announcing over the PA system, ‘everybody evacuate Queets Avenue. The hillside is coming down.’” Mac Najar and his friend left one of the houses just 10 minutes before a landslide knocked the home into the street. “I was telling him, ‘you need to pack your things fast, if you’re leaving.’ Because I could hear the cliff moving. You can see it moving,” Najar said. |
