*Leyte Mudslide message board* On February 17, 2006 a farming village is gone, swallowed whole by a wall of mud and boulders that swept down at a terrifying speed from a mountainside in the eastern Philippines. Officials feared the death toll could climb past 1,000. "There are no signs of life, no rooftops, no nothing," Southern Leyte province Governor Rosette Lerias said. The village of Guinsaugon, once a community of 2,500 people, now looks like a 40-hectare (100-acre) patch of newly plowed land. Its 375 homes and elementary school were buried under mud up to 10 meters (30 feet) deep. Only a few small piles of debris hint at the devastation.
