<snip>
Weary searchers resume their dangerous work Wednesday in Oso, Wash., where it's thought that at least 24 persons and possibly many more died when a massive mudslide buried the small community north of Seattle on Saturday.
Headlines and news outlets' updates help tell the story as the day begins:
"Heartbreaking search intensifies in mudslide zone." ()
"Over 200 searchers will resume the search at daylight." ()
"The number of people believed to be missing in the mudslide remains 'fluid,' according to officials. They have been working off a list with nearly 200 reports of people who are unaccounted for, but search operation crews said they are sure many of those names are duplicates." ()
"The debris area covers an entire square mile and recent rain is making the task even more difficult." (KUOW's Sara Lerner on the NPR Newscast)
"County's own 2010 report called slide area dangerous." ()
