Geologists say Saturday’s mudslide in Washington was probably triggered when a river undercut a slope that will still soggy from recent rain. The Seattle Times says the same area was hit by a smaller landslide in 2006. But the size and force of the wall of mud on Saturday came as a surprise. Experts say it can be difficult to predict which slopes are primed to fall.
