News in Brief: Avalanche Of Mud And Water. Four mountain communities are laid waste following an avalanche of mud and water brought on by torrential spring rains. Scenes of desolation follow the flash floods that washed away homes and caused untold injuries and death. Damage and destruction from mudslides (landslides), homes ripped apart, etc. Men (rescue workers, look like civilians) help a woman climb down a ladder from an upper-story window. Various shots of cleanup efforts; mud is splattered even inside homes.
