Mudslide in Washington state

[PearlieMae]

Are all the mers in the northwest pod accounted for? I heard about this tragedy and have been worried all day.

Yeah, it happened up in my hometown. I've been following the story. I know we have one pod member up in that area, but I think she lives in town, which wasn't hit.

I hadnt heard about this, its terrible. My prayers go out to all the families whos loved ones are missing, who passed away, were injured, and just everyone who this affected. I hope all of our Washington mers are safe and hopefully they can keep recovering more survivors.

I live in WA (30 miles as a bird flies from Snohomish County) and I didn't even know this happened till this post- I had to google it to find out what happened. Holy crap. :(

I found out as soon as it happened because I still have a number of friends and relatives who live in my hometown (Arlington, which is a couple miles from the slide and where all the rescue efforts are taking place from) or along the Stilly river. Keeping a close eye on the news to see if any names come up that I know.
