Scientists seek clues to slides
RENO (AP) — Geologists buzzed over the
Sierra Nevada by helicopter Tuesday, looking
for clues to more mudslides like one which
took one life and wiped out four homes at the
base of towering Slide Mountain.
A search for survivors of the slide was call
ed off after Washoe County Sheriff Vince Swin
ney said all were accounted for.
Federal, state and county agencies were
surveying the damage caused by the mammoth
earthslide, which sent a 15-foot “wall” of water,
mud, boulders and debris crashing down a
creekbed into the fertile Washoe Valley on
Monday.
Four homes were destroyed and five
others damaged by the slide, which also trap
ped a number of horses in its path. One was
shot to death because of its injuries and
another was accidently dropped off a gurney as
a helicopter tried to lift it to safety. Others were
safely evacuated.
Nevada Gov. Richard Bryan toured the site
Tuesday and said the damage was not as
serious as he expected.
Relief agencies were trying to determine
how much assistance the families affected by
the disaster would need.
The U S. Forest Service sent a helicopter
over a 90-mile stretch of the Sierra south of
Reno to determine whether Monday’s slide
would be followed by more.
Last winter was the snowiest on record in
the Sierra Nevada, and the mountains are still
choked with snow drifts of 20 feet or more.
Landslides already have closed U.S. Highway
50, the major artery into the Lake Tahoe area, in
two places.
Monday’s slide was caused by the sun’s in
frared rays heating the earth below the snow on
Slide Mountain, according to Forest Service
engineer Max Montgomery.
He said infrared heating caused a cavity to
build between the earth and snow, resulting in
an avalanche which ripped away earth and trees
and sent a roiling layer of muck sliding down
the steep face of the mountain.
The mud cascaded into Upper Price Lake,
formed a dam and burst it, and then repeated
the process at Lower Price Lake directly below.
Fires contained, crews go home
EUGENE (AP) — Cool, rainy
weather helped control a
number of forest fires in the
Willamette National Forest
and fire officials said Tuesday
they were beginning to send
their fire crews home.
“All the fires are controlled
except for two in the Detroit
District and we expect to have
those controlled today,” said
Betty Hooker, fire dispatcher
for the Willamette National
Forest.
“We had light rains on the
fires yesterday and that’s cer
tainly aided us in controlling
them,” Hooker added.
Mopping up operations
were expected to continue
through Thursday and fire
crews were being demobil
ized, she said.
“We had 1,400 on the fires
yesterday and we're down to
about 1,200 today,” Hooker
said Tuesday. “By Friday we
anticipate having only a few
crews left."
The two fires not listed as
“controlled" Tuesday
presented “no problems,” she
said. They were situated in the
Monument Peak and Detroit
Reservoir areas.
