The slide wiped through what neighbors described as a former fishing village of small homes -some nearly 100 years old.
Officials described the mudslide as "a big wall of mud and debris" that stood about 18 meters deep in some places.
Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground made unstable by recent heavy rainfall.
