You would think with all the mud slinging in Washington DC that would be the Washington with the mudslide. No, the mudslide that killed over a dozen people and left over 100 missing was in Oso, Washington. Oso is a small village 55 miles northeast of Seattle (or, perhaps we should say *was*.) The village was “obliterated” after weeks of heavy rain.
This sort of extreme weather event is expected to become more normal due to the effects of global warming.
