There are multiple people in the hospital, and an even more numerous amount of people missing in the mudslide. The conditions are too dangerous in the actual mudded area for emergency responders to go in an search for, "signs of life". Officials report that the mud has the consistency and feel of, "quicksand," is one way or another. 

  Hopefully all individuals and families that were trapped in the mud and are still alive are out, but that may not be the case. The scene seems to be eerily quiet, so there is either a devastating death toll or a devastating amount of people trapped in this scene.
