On August 28, 2004, following heavy rainfall, mudflows overran several houses in near Futrono, southern Chile.[1] Chile Route T-55 between Futrono and Llifén was cut off by the landslide.[2] At least three separate mudflows occurred in the event.[3]

Three people were injured by the mudflows and about five thousand became temporarily isolated as roads were blocked.[3]
