Mudslide Catches Vehicles on Highway 24

Twenty-one vehicles were caught in a mudslide, Wednesday afternoon, near Manitou Springs, Colorado.

Heavy rain, joined by hail, caused flash flooding and the mud slide to bury part of Highway 24.

No one was injured in the incident, despite occupied cars being swept down the highway.

Highway 24 was reopened by 19:00 MDT.

60 Killed by Chinese Floods and Mudslides

Raging waters and mudslides killed more than sixty in China, on Wednesday.

Floods washed away bridges, roads, buildings, and anything else in their path.

Some areas that are normally above water were buried under as much as twenty-three feet of water.

The worst of the destruction came in Dujiangyan, where a mudslide buried eleven homes and forty people.
