Mud began flowing through Tuikhin Zang, a village in Kalaymyo Township in eastern Myanmar, August 28. The local Nazarene pastor provided the following report:

 There were 180 houses in the village. When the villagers noticed mud flowing inside their village, they began going door-to-door informing  one another that they needed to evacuate. Shortly thereafter, the local news was indicating that the entire village was overwhelmed by this mud, destroying almost all of the homes. Only four remained, but even more tragic is that 20 persons were reported missing.
