Im gayle king with Norah Odonnell and john dickerson. I like the sound of that. We begin with this. Search crews are racing to find victims still trapped in southern californias very deadly mudslides. The storm that triggered walls of mud and debris killed at least 17 people. 17 others remain missing at this hour. We learn the identities of two people who died.

This all happened at 4 00 in the morning. People were sound asleep. They say they heard a rumbling. Thats what woke them up. And then bam, the wall of mud slams right into their homes and, in some cases, goes through their homes. It contains boulders like this. These are small boulders. In some cases, many of them were as big as a car. The debris field from the deadly Montecito Mudslides covers 30 square miles. Search dogs are assisting in the ongoing rescue effort. But for responders, time is running out. Friends and family members are joining in the search as well. Josie, shes missing. Reporter hayden gower is desperately trying to find his mom josy. Well see what we can find. Reporter he says she was swept away clinging to her homes back door. Her boyfriend survived. He hung on there for six hours, calling out her name all night long. Her bedrooms upstairs. And she just would have stayed upstairs. Reporter the mudslides destroyed at least 100 homes, damaged 300 more, mangled cars and downed power lines. Even seasoned rescue teams are shocked by the magnitude of the destruction. We dont see this. I mean, it is complete devastation. Multiple, multiple homes that are completely destroyed. And still we have a lot of people that are unaccounted for. Owe, my god reporter michael ferrells cell phone video captures the powerful moment the mud and debris ran downhill. I basically ran for my life. Made it back to my house. Within about 30 seconds of the front of the flash flood hitting. And it hit within a matter of moments, leaving many with no time to escape. As you can imagine, most of the injuries we saw from this event were related to fast moving debris. As you cant even fathom what these poor patients went through to finally make their way into the emergency department. Reporter this mudslide will have a longterm impact, even for people whose homes were not damaged. The Water Infrastructure here was significantly damaged. And theres no time line for repair on that. And the 101 freeway, well, that still got mudslides in various locations. And its not expected to reopen until next week. Cant even fathom it, as the doctor said. Carter, thank you. Mudslide victims are sharing incredible stories of survival. A wall of mud and debris slammed into the home of Berkeley Johnson tuesday.

I was worried that we were going to, you know, end it there. Reporter did you think you were going to die . Yes. Potentially. We got the family down. Got the dog down. And then i started to look for other neighbors. We walked over there. I saw the debris pile. Other firemen. Then we heard this little cry. Down in that muck in the middle of nowhere was a little a little baby. A little this little child, just in the mud, up to its, you know, tangled in the roots and the metal and the rock and, you know, if we werent standing within two feet of that thing, we would have never heard it. I mean, so many things had to happen to get to the point where were standing two feet away. This child was from nowhere. Look around. There was no the child came from who knows where. There was no way we should have heard that child. The 2yearold girl survived and was taken to the hospital. Authorities later found her father. Just think about that. Its just so good to hear some good news. I keep thinking the difference between upstairs and downstairs could mean the difference between life and death. Very frightening. That man and little girl.
