Heavy rain and flooding has led to a muddy start to 2015 in some areas of Washington State.
Power outages and mudslides are threatening the safety of homes in western areas, and residents in the cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam have been advised to evacuate.
Officials say that at least three homes in Hoquiam have been knocked off their foundations due to mudslides, while a landslide has forced a major highway to close.
Video of a home being knocked off of its foundation shows how damaging the storm has been.

Those houses appear to have been built 50 or more years ago..the style is familiar to me.
The denuded face of that cliff may be much more recent.
