Eight found dead and 18 still missing after massive US mudslide wipes out 30 homes

After hearing voices pleading for help, rescuers were 'combing through the debris' in an overnight search for survivors from a massive mudslide in Washington state that has killed at least three people and forced evacuations because of fears of severe flooding. The mudslide occurred in rural Snohomish County about 55 miles north of Seattle, Washington state, on Saturday morning. Rescuers were using thermal imaging cameras to help try to find people. So strong was the force of the slide, it carried a house with people still inside across a road.
