Excerpt: 

It was about 5:30 in the morning. The light had not risen above the mountain peaks, and it would be about another hour and a half before light would enter the basement.  We were fine for now. My thoughts raced about my husband, my daughter, my parents, and what to cook without power.  But those thoughts were soon interrupted by sounds of rushing water.  

Jennifer questioned her thought on this. She wished she would have reacted sooner. But she did not have any experience with a mudslide or preparing for one.  The sound of thunder built slowly but got louder as it reached the house.  Then she realized it wasn’t thunder.  

Jennifer’s heart raced as she felt the vibrations surge beneath her feet, an ominous warning that the earth was shifting.

“Mommy, what’s happening?” Austin awoke in a panic. The basement was pitch black with no visibility.  “Stay there, I will come get you,” Jennifer screamed.  All around them, darkness enveloped the world like a thick blanket, and visibility was reduced to mere inches.  

With a sickening lurch, the earth gave way. A torrent of mud cascaded down the mountainside with relentless force, snapping trees like toothpicks in its path. Jennifer barely had the time to react when the howling winds and roaring debris merged into one chaotic symphony of destruction.
