COUPEVILLE, Wash. -- At least 22 homes have been evacuated after a major landslide overnight on Whidbey Island.
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said no one was hurt, but one home was destroyed by mud and debris when the slide happened in an area near Alderwood Street and South Fircrest Avenue just after 4 a.m.
Residents described what sounded like thunder or a sonic boom as the slide broke across 400 to 500 yards on a hillside and downhill 600 or 700 yards to the water. Read More: (Link)
