A woman in Sausalito was pulled to safety early Thursday morning after a mudslide sent her home sliding down a hill, according to fire officials.
The home, which was located along the 400 block of Sausalito Boulevard, "traveled some distance" before crashing into at least one other residence, according to Southern Marin Fire District Chief Chris Tubbs.
The woman was "pinned within the debris in her home, encased in mud," but rescuers managed to spot her hand in the mangled mess and save her, Capt. Doug Paterson with the Southern Marin Fire District said.
"Surprisingly, she was in great condition," Paterson said. "She was talking to us. She was alert. She was able to tell us exactly what had happened."
Firefighters said the woman was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. She is expected to make a full recovery.
At least 50 homes in the surrounding area have been evacuated, Tubbs said. In addition to the mudslide, crews have been dealing with a broken gas line and multiple downed power lines.
"We heard basically what sounded like a train barreling through our house,” said Bryan Wilson, who was asleep with his wife when the mudslide hit.
He said his carport was gone and that firefighters rescued him, his wife and their baby.
