Members of the National Guard aided local agencies as hope dwindles that they'll find survivors of Sunday's mudslide.
Officials raised the confirmed death toll up to twenty-four, with one hundred and seventy-six missing.
Eight people did survive the slide, with four still in the hospital from the injuries.
The slide, which crossed the Stillaguamish River as well as a road, buried forty-nine houses in twenty feet of mud.
Many buildings were simply crushed, not buried, by the force of the slide.
If no more survivors are found, the slide could become the deadliest in US history.
