It can be a good science lesson or a good story.

mudslides happen when heavy rain turns into mud and falls down a steep hill and turns into a mudslides.
There has not been any mudslides in Texas I think
Gravity does not occur in mudslides. Gravity exists wherever there is mass.
Mudslides form when a mass of soil, rock, and vegetation becomes saturated with water, losing its strength and cohesion, causing it to flow downhill. This saturation can be due to heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or rapid melting of ice, creating a fast-moving mixture of water and debris. Steep slopes and areas prone to erosion are more susceptible to mudslides.

On average, thousands of people die from mudslides globally each year. Factors such as location, frequency, and severity of mudslides contribute to the variation in the number of fatalities.

California
Florida does not experience mudslides primarily due to its flat topography and subtropical climate. The state has a low elevation and lacks the steep hillsides typically associated with mudslide occurrences. Additionally, the region's sandy soils and high water table contribute to good drainage, reducing the risk of saturation that can lead to mudslides. Overall, the combination of these factors minimizes the likelihood of such geological events.
Mudslides are common and happen frequently. However, many of them are small and do not cause damage. The United States and Italy are two countries that mudslides occur in. Greece and Turkey also experience mudslides.
