A house is seen destroyed in the mud on March 23, 2014, the day after a giant landslide occurred near Oso, Washington.
Arlington, Washington:
Authorities say there are 108 names on the list of people who've been reported missing or unaccounted for in the weekend mudslide in Washington state.
Snohomish County emergency management director John Pennington says that doesn't mean there are 108 injuries or fatalities. But he says it's the consolidated list of reported missing from various sources that authorities are working from.
Pennington says the slide occurred on a Saturday morning, when more people were likely to be home.
At least eight people were killed in the 1-square-mile (2.6-sq. kilometre) slide that hit in a rural area about 55 miles (90 kilometres) northeast of Seattle.
Several people also were critically injured, and about 30 homes were destroyed.
