More than a dozen homes were evacuated in Edmonds Thursday morning after a mudslide slammed into a house and caused a natural gas leak.

Snohomish County fire said a slide of 50 feet by 100 feet hit a home on North Meadowdale Beach Road near 73rd Place West just after 4 a.m.

Everyone in the home got out OK, according to fire officials, but the natural gas leak has caused the fire department to evacuate about 17 homes on 73rd and 74th Streets.

No injuries were reported.

The gas leak was secured around 6:30 a.m., according to Edmonds police.
