There was a huge mudslide in our state today.
4 dead, 8 injured, possible still some under the slide possible.
One of the injured is a 6 month old baby. :(
It not far from where I live, so close to heart as consider all there our neighbors.
The mud has blocked a major river and there is great concern that when this breaks it could cause even more damage.
Area has been evacuated.
Please keep the family's of the lost, injured and many now evacuated in your prayers.
Pray also there will be no more mudslides here.
In Jesus.

Thankyou and God bless

PS, I and my family are not in danger, just in case any wondered.

Also, please pray in Jesus, that the rains predicted this coming week will be weak, or pass by.

Thankyou and God bless

Is this in Washington State? I heard something about it on ABC when I was watching the American station.

Praying for the families of those lost in the mudslide. Also for the river that is dammed and that the damage be minimal. I remember terrible flooding on the Washington rivers when I lived in Vancouver, BC.

Yes it is in washington state, we have freinds with homes along this river, we almost bought a home there years ago.
The land mass that slid is huge,like the whole hill just fell away, and the rescuers believe there still may be some trapped.
The river is damned right now by the slide, so huge concerns about when it will break.
That is why the evacuations.
Has been alot of rain this month, and some flooding, so far not to bad, but the slide problems have been increacing.
Its just heartbreaking.

Thankyou for praying for them and the situation in Jesus, as He is our best help and hope.

God bless:)

Lord, send some dry weather to the wet places and some wet to the dry. I'm not calling for draught or flood, just what's beneficial. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

update, Im sure most have seen this on the news by now.
Saddly, the slide was worse than any could have imagined.
A friend of ours has lost his daughter, son-in-law,, his grandson was one of the ones rescued.
The missing count is now at 176, although the number is not firm and can change.
Death toll is now 24, and is expected to rise. :(
So many effected here, so many still waiting with hope.
In an instant, lives lost and changed.
The amount of earth that slid is enormous, and devastating, beyond imagination.
Please continue to keep all here in your prayers.
For the injured,for the lost, the families waiting for answers, those that survived.
Those that are searching and working rescue and recovery, for they work a difficult work.

Please join me in lifting up all here in washington state, in Jesus's name, for all healing, help, streangth, and comfort during this time of devastating sorrow.

Thankyou all and God bless
