The mud and debris have constricted the flow of the Stillaguamish River, causing flooding upstream. Rain forecast for Tuesday is expected to cause the river to rise nearly a foot (30.5cm), but drier weather is predicted for later in the week. The mudslide destroyed about 30 houses, leaving piles of downed trees, wrecked houses and twisted shells of vehicles. Little sign of the community in Stillaguamish Valley is remains.
