Number Of Homes Destroyed In Montecito Mudslides Doubles To 115

Officials say seven people remain hospitalized a week after they were injured in mudslides that devastated the coastal California town of Montecito, killing 20. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital says that as of Monday evening, two of the seven still undergoing treatment were in critical condition. Three people including a 2-year-old girl remain missing. Twenty-eight patients have been treated and released. The mudslides were triggered Jan. 9 by a powerful storm that dumped heavy rain on mountain slopes that had been burned bare by a huge wildfire in December. The number of single-family homes determined to have been destroyed by mudslides has risen to 115.
