People may have been asleep when mudslides occurred
bbc.com - August 15, 2017
More than 300 people have been killed in mudslides and flooding near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.
A hillside in the Regent area collapsed early on Monday following heavy rains, leaving many houses covered in mud.
A BBC reporter at the scene said many people may have been asleep when the mudslide occurred.
The number of casualties is expected to rise. Locals were reportedly trying to recover bodies from the rubble and mud with their bare hands.

Authorities have already been evacuating people around the site of Monday's landslide at Mount Sugar Loaf, about five miles outside the capital, Freetown, after examining drone images.
Now aerial images of an adjacent hill have revealed a crack that is likely to collapse and that covers a much larger area, Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Sidie Yahya Tunis told CNN.
