Crews work to clear mudslide from road near Index Road crews continued to chip away at a mud-and-snow slide across Mt. Index River Road on Sunday.A mix of snow, mud and trees collapsed on the road Saturday morning, making U.S. 2 out of reach for about 100 people. No injuries or damage to any homes was reported, Snohomish County spokesman Christopher Schwarzen said. No estimates saying when the road would be cleared were available. People on Saturday could still pass on foot, but the road continued to slide into the south fork of the Skykomish River. It is not clear if people were prevented from crossing the slide Sunday. Sheriff's deputies and fire officials went door to door to notify people whose homes were affected. The American Red Cross opened a shelter in Monroe, where about eight people stayed overnight. Kris Krischano, a spokesman for the Snohomish County chapter of the Red Cross, said 17 volunteers with the nonprofit disaster relief organization fanned out across the county over the weekend helping flood-affected residents assess damage to their homes. They also passed out cleanup kits with mops, sponges, gloves and trash bags. |
