How many died in massive Snohomish County, Washington landslide?

A "soft" number of 108 people are missing...
This slide is approximately one square mile in area.  Eight are confirmed dead, but many still not accounted for. RIP to those who were lost.

Update:
Six more bodies found (death toll at 14).
Rescuers say they heard voices calling for help, but could not reach them.  Calls have now stopped.  
JWF: Lefties blame slide on global warming?  Well they are technically right.  It is the result of global warming about 11,000 years ago when the glaciers retreated from Washington.  The unstable slopes left behind of glacial till have eroded since then.

  1. Looks like God's hand came along and scooped it out.

    1. It is a very scary picture when you realize the scale of this. Just a regular Saturday Spring morning and then all hell broke loose.
