Fox News: 17 Killed, 5 Missing In California Mudslides

‘It is hard to show this on camera the true devastation in this area’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PERINO: "The search for a survivor continues days after the fatal mudslides in Montecito California. Many homes and buildings were swept away, but this church held its ground. But as you can see the interior is totally devastated. Adam Housley joins us live from the hardest hit area."
HOUSLEY: "It is hard to show this on camera the true devastation in this area. It is unbelievable. Imagine if this came down from the hillside where I’m standing. I’m 6’3,” look at how big this thing is. It is massive. This is one of the homes that it had to go through. You can see the mud, the tree, the Boulders. You can see the Orange X on the wall, the unit checked out if somebody was inside. Then there is another home, as you go house by house you see the same type of view. The same place as it looks like the house is great, but you come around to the side and you can see a massive amount of mud and Boulders that ripped right through it. You can see the fire truck, a part of the urban search and rescue teams. You can hear them yell, quiet, quiet, and everybody has to stop and not even move. No whispers, no cell phones as they tap and try to hear if somebody is inside the ruins. It has been four days. Holding out slim hope. Very slim for the five still missing and the 17 that have already been killed."
