Mudslides Damage 20 Homes in Waldo Canyon

Rains caused flash flooding and mudslides near Manitou Springs, Colorado, on Monday night.

At least twenty homes saw damage from walls of mud crashing into them.

Nine of those saw structural damage.

The area afflicted was around Waldo Canyon, where a fire burned last year.

The Waldo Canyon Fire killed two people, burned down three hundred and forty-six homes, and scorched nineteen thousand acres.

Due to the level of burning, mudslides will be a high likelihood for the area for a couple of years.
