Oso landslip costs<\/h5>\n

Unfortunately the toll from Saturday’s Oso landslip is rapidly mounting.\u00a0 Latest reports<\/a> suggest that at least eight people have lost their lives and that up to 18 more might be missing in the debris.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the site remains very dangerous, such that substantial areas have yet to be entered.\u00a0 This will be the worst landslide in the USA for many years. The last event on a similar scale of which I am aware was the 25th December 2003 debris flow in San Bernadino County, California, which killed 16 people.\u00a0 It looks likely that this landslide will be worse.<\/p>\n

Whilst I am referring to this as the Oso landslip, in fact it is a reactivation of an existing landslide, known as the Hazel Landslide.\u00a0 This landslide is known to have moved 1988, and went through a second phase of movement in 2006.\u00a0 It is well described in a blog post from 2009 that can be found at: https:\/\/slidingthought.wordpress.com\/tag\/north-fork-of-stillaguamish\/<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find a geological map of the area here: http:\/\/www.dnr.wa.gov\/Publications\/ger_ofr2003-12_geol_map_mounthiggins_24k.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

The landslide did occur in glacial sediments, as I indicated might be the case yesterday.\u00a0 There are some excellent resources on the landslide at the following three blog posts:<\/p>\n
